For thirty hard years I was a newspaperman
I made my living with a pen and a pad
God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands
Been back from the desert for a year or so
Left more in the sand then you'll ever know
Another war's waiting for me when I got back home
In the name of the flags one gave their lives
I'm still living yeah Semper Fi
Well that's my story, what else can I say
Hey hey
I got a lot to give so can't you see
I'm still breathing an my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me
(bridge, same chords)
I got a lot to give so can't you see
I'm still breathing an my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me
Boarding up the house they left the keys
Does anybody want, Does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me
