Nazareth - A Veteran's Song Lyrics
The bars are crowded with wasted youthYou just went, you didnt know the truthYou dont know that kid when you look backYou remember the music, paint it blackYou had a brother in the movement and he burned his cardHes got a job in the white house, aint life hardYou came back a hero on a stolen horseYou say you dont fit in, you cant stay the courseI may be right, dont care if Im wrongIts a veterans songI may be right, dont care if Im wrongIts a veterans songThe band paraded playing oh gung hoYour country needs you, youve got to goWhen you came over they said soldier go backWhen you came home they put you on the rackBetween agent orange and the jungle and fearYoure just surviving to get out of hereYou smoke some more herb and you keep your head downCould be your number is on the next round.(mccafferty, sweet, charlton, agnew)Publishing copyright: m.a.c.s. musicCopyright 1986 nazareth (dunfermline) ltd., dunfermline
