Got a song about a soldier
Ridin somewhere on a train
Empty sleeve pinned to his shoulder
And some pills to ease the pain
Started drinkin in El Paso
He was drunk by San Antone
Tellin strangers who were sleepin
How he hated goin home
Just a simple song of freedom
He was never fightin for
No one's listenin 'til you need 'em
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more
Got a song about a sister
