|
Reaching for a butterfly |
|
Old soldiers never die |
|
And the gun against their shoulder |
|
Well, it gets a little older |
|
And just like that old shoulder |
|
It just gets put away |
|
Well, I'm an old, forgotten soldier |
|
Since they put an end to war |
|
And I like to tell my story |
|
But you don't wanna hear about the war |
|
I'm an old, forgotten campaign hero |
|
Left without a cause |
|
Because, they took away my wars |
|
I'm an old, forgotten railroad |
|
A broken, lonely ammo-train |
|
And my rusty ammunition |
|
Has been left out in the rain |
|
I'm an old, forgotten part-time doughboy |
|
I tried to save the world |
|
The world was round |
|
We fired around |
|
Heard all around the world |
|
I'm an old, forgotten campaign hero |
|
Left without a cause |
|
Because, they took away my wars |
|
I'm an old, forgotten railroad |
|
A broken, lonely ammo-train |
|
And my rusty ammunition |
|
Has been left out in the rain |
