| Lyrics:John Prine Music:John Prine | |
| Sam stone came home, | |
| To his wife and family | |
| After serving in the conflict overseas. | |
| And the time that he served, | |
| Had shattered all his nerves, | |
| And left a little shrapnel in his knee. | |
| But the morphine eased the pain, | |
| And the grass grew round his brain, | |
| And gave him all the confidence he lacked, | |
| With a purple heart and a monkey on his back. | |
| Chorus: | |
| There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, | |
| Jesus christ died for nothin' i suppose. | |
| Little pitchers have big ears, | |
| Don't stop to count the years, | |
| Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. | |
| Mmm.... | |
| Sam stone's welcome home | |
| Didn't last too long. | |
| He went to work when he'd spent his last dime | |
| And sammy took to stealing | |
| When he got that empty feeling | |
| For a hundred dollar habit without overtime. | |
| And the gold rolled through his veins | |
| Like a thousand railroad trains, | |
| And eased his mind in the hours that he chose, | |
| While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes... | |
| Repeat chorus: | |
| Sam stone was alone | |
| When he popped his last balloon | |
| Climbing walls while sitting in a chair | |
| Well, he played his last request | |
| While the room smelled just like death | |
| With an overdose hovering in the air | |
| But life had lost its fun | |
| And there was nothing to be done | |
| But trade his house that he bought on the g, i. bill | |
| For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill | |
| Repeat chorus |
