[00:15.74]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.
