Mother, Try to do right by you
|
To do what you asked me to
|
I did wrong and I knew.
|
|
Mother I tried to behave for you
|
Now I’m a digging a grave for you
|
It was all I could do.
|
|
Find a way back home, Make everything new
|
But I wish it was true.
|
|
Father, well I’ll give my soul to you
|
I came in blind folded for you
|
It was all that I knew.
|
|
Open your arms and I’ll fly out of hell up to you
|
I wish it was true.
|
|
Boy come on out from the cold
|
Your lost outside there don’t you know
|
It’s not what you say it was you do
|
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
|
Well your dreams there reality
|
There’s no pain there’s no misery
|
Just polish the blood and the bruise
|
For there’s just no way you can lose.
|
But I wish it was true.
|
|
Country, I was a solider for you
|
I did what you asked me to
|
It was wrong and you knew.
|
|
Country, now I’m just a stranger to you
|
A number a name it’s true
|
Throw me away when you’re through.
|
|
Home of the brave and free the, the red white and blue
|
But I wish it was true.
