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 |
