What can you see from your window |
| [00:16.920] |
I can't see anything from mine |
| [00:22.700] |
Flags on the side of the highway |
| [00:28.200] |
And scripture on grocery store signs |
| [00:33.350] |
Maybe eighteen was too early |
| [00:39.400] |
Maybe thirty or forty is too |
| [00:43.840] |
Did you get your chance to make peace with the man |
| [00:49.620] |
Before he sent down his angels for you |
| [00:55.160] |
Mamas and grandmamas love you |
| [01:00.260] |
Cause that's all they know how to do |
| [01:06.480] |
You never planned on the bombs in the sand |
| [01:11.000] |
Or sleeping in your dress blues |
| [01:27.700] |
Your wife said this all would be funny |
| [01:32.950] |
When you came back home in a week |
| [01:38.260] |
You'd turn twenty-two and we'd celebrate you |
| [01:43.250] |
In a bar or a tent by the creek |
| [01:49.240] |
Your baby would just about be here |
| [01:54.220] |
Your very last tour would be up |
| [01:59.880] |
But you won't be back,they're all dressin' in black |
| [02:05.180] |
Drinking sweet tea in styrofoam cups |
| [02:11.110] |
Mamas and grandmamas love you |
| [02:16.540] |
American boys hate to lose |
| [02:22.140] |
You never planned on the bombs in the sand |
| [02:27.200] |
Or sleepin' in your dress blues |
| [03:41.700] |
Now the high school gymnasium's ready |
| [03:47.630] |
Full of flowers and old legionnaires |
| [03:53.410] |
Nobody showed up to protest |
| [03:58.360] |
They just sniffle and stare |
| [04:03.670] |
There's red, white, and blue in the rafters |
| [04:09.080] |
And there's silent old men from the corps |
| [04:14.890] |
What did they say when they shipped you away |
| [04:20.120] |
To give all in some God awful war |
| [04:25.950] |
Nobody here could forget you |
| [04:31.230] |
You showed us what we had to lose |
| [04:37.260] |
You never planned on the bombs in the sand |
| [04:41.390] |
Or sleeping in your dress blues |
| [04:47.070] |
No,no you never planned on the bombs in the sand |
| [04:52.390] |
Or sleeping in your dress blues |
| [04:58.420] |
You never planned on the bombs in the sand |
| [05:03.190] |
Or sleeping in your dress blues |
