Got a song about a soldier, |
[00:17.04] |
|
[00:29.53] |
ridin' somewhere on a train |
[00:33.15] |
empty sleeve pinned to his shoulder |
[00:35.52] |
|
[00:36.58] |
and some pills to ease the pain |
[00:39.39] |
|
[00:42.57] |
Started drinkin' in El Paso, |
[00:45.76] |
|
[00:50.25] |
he was drunk in San Antone, |
[00:53.00] |
|
[01:00.18] |
tellin' strangers who were sleepin' |
[01:02.18] |
|
[01:03.61] |
how he hated goin' home |
[01:06.81] |
|
[01:17.07] |
Just a simple song of freedom, |
[01:18.69] |
he was never fightin' for, |
[01:20.81] |
|
[01:23.56] |
no one's listenin' when you need 'em, |
[01:27.05] |
|
[01:29.36] |
ain't no fun to sing that song no more. |
[01:33.48] |
|
[01:45.41] |
Got a song about a sister, |
[01:48.34] |
waitin' somewhere by the phone, |
[01:50.27] |
|
[01:57.13] |
for some man who never missed her, |
[01:59.11] |
|
[02:01.68] |
ever since he come and gone |
[02:04.74] |
|
[02:09.30] |
And its harder for a woman, |
[02:11.92] |
|
[02:15.56] |
with a baby on the way, |
[02:18.24] |
|
[02:23.39] |
that's the price of bein' human, |
[02:24.30] |
|
[02:28.83] |
when you're poor enough to pay, |
[02:31.58] |
|
[02:36.34] |
So she listens to the freedom, |
[02:38.65] |
|
[02:42.17] |
in the silence at her door |
[02:44.73] |
|
[02:48.94] |
no one's missin' till you need 'em |
[02:51.94] |
|
[02:57.32] |
ain't no fun to sing that song no more |
[02:59.88] |
|
[03:09.43] |
Got a song about a Savior, |
[03:12.61] |
|
[03:18.29] |
lookin' lonesome and afraid, |
[03:20.03] |
|
[03:25.36] |
at a city full of strangers, |
[03:27.24] |
|
[03:30.17] |
and a cross He never made |
[03:33.35] |
|
[03:37.61] |
And He's sadder than He's wiser, |
[03:40.80] |
|
[03:46.03] |
and a longer way from home, |
[03:48.03] |
|
[03:54.53] |
and He wonders why His Father, |
[03:57.27] |
|
[03:57.83] |
left Him bleeding and alone. |
[04:00.20] |
|
[04:05.05] |
Just a broken song of freedom, |
[04:07.36] |
|
[04:13.35] |
and the closing of a door, |
[04:15.41] |
|
[04:19.37] |
no one's missin' till you need 'em |
[04:21.62] |
|
[04:24.70] |
ain't no fun to sing that song no more. |
