Standing in line on the depot floor
|
Taking my time getting through the door
|
Daddy said "go!" and Mama just cried
|
Sister said "devil's on the other side"
|
Hurricane blowing water gets high
|
Can't turn around or I'll drown in lies
|
|
When I get back I'm gonna own this town
|
Shine that medal and wear that crown
|
Fall on my knees and kiss the ground...
|
Dear old America
|
|
Run run rabbit save your rabbit skin
|
Jump right back in your hole again
|
Bullets they cry whispering drone
|
Fire in the sky God's on the phone
|
|
When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts
|
Dream my dreams and shut my mouth
|
Nobody knows what this is all about
|
Dear old America
|
|
We don't beg and we don't run
|
We don't lose we don't overcome
|
Purple mountain majesty sliding to a broken sea
|
Daddy he swear and Mama she cry
|
"My sweet baby she's bound to die"
|
|
When I get back I'm gonna feel just fine
|
One more day I'm gonna do my time
|
Ain't no hammer gonna ring like mine
|
|
When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts
|
Dream my dreams and shut my mouth
|
Nobody knows what this is all about now
|
|
When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts
|
Dream my dreams and shut my mouth
|
Nobody knows what this is all about
|
