[00:02.44] |
Sam stone came home |
[00:06.10] |
To his wife and family |
[00:09.80] |
After serving in the conflict overseas |
[00:16.91] |
And the time that he served |
[00:20.20] |
Had shattered all his nerves |
[00:24.24] |
And left a little shrapnel in his knee |
[00:30.51] |
But the morphine eased the pain |
[00:34.45] |
And the grass grew round his brain |
[00:38.35] |
And gave him all the confidence he lacked |
[00:45.10] |
With a purple heart and a monkey on his back |
[00:52.06] |
|
[00:52.07] |
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes |
[01:00.13] |
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose |
[01:06.49] |
Little pitchers have big ears |
[01:10.07] |
Don't stop to count the years |
[01:14.00] |
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios |
[01:24.40] |
|
[01:24.42] |
Sam stone's welcome home |
[01:27.97] |
Didn't last too long |
[01:32.43] |
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime |
[01:38.84] |
And Sammy took to stealing when he got that empty feeling |
[01:45.98] |
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime |
[01:53.00] |
And the gold rolled through his veins |
[01:56.69] |
Like a thousand railroad trains |
[02:00.82] |
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose |
[02:07.50] |
While the kids ran around wearing other peoples' clothes |
[02:14.90] |
|
[02:14.91] |
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes |
[02:23.10] |
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose |
[02:29.46] |
Little pitchers have big ears |
[02:32.89] |
Don't stop to count the years |
[02:35.71] |
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios |
[02:46.67] |
|
[02:46.68] |
Sam stone was alone |
[02:50.58] |
When he popped his last balloon |
[02:55.05] |
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair |
[03:01.10] |
Well he played his last request |
[03:04.54] |
While the room smelled just like death |
[03:08.75] |
With an overdose hovering in the air |
[03:15.09] |
But life had lost its fun |
[03:18.86] |
And there was nothing to be done |
[03:22.42] |
But trade his house that he bought on the G I bill |
[03:29.55] |
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill |
[03:36.90] |
|
[03:36.91] |
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes |
[03:45.20] |
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose |
[03:51.56] |
Little pitchers have big ears |
[03:54.94] |
Don't stop to count the years |
[03:58.85] |
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios |
