The Killigans - For Love of Country Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • He packed his bag he’s leaving town had seen enough to care
  • Had fifteen dollars in his hand to get from here to there
  • He took his time made up his mind
  • His father pled son stay at home there’s work back on the farm
  • I went this route when I was a boy with a gun held in my arms
  • Saw so many die with star spangled eyes
  • He packed his mother’s only Bible down take a Rosary she said
  • And son please say your prayers tonight when you lay down your head
  • Cuz it’s a long ride home on these tired roads tonight
  • Old Johnny died on war torn streets in the fading summer light
  • They laid him in the ground today his father shook his head
  • I only wish he’d stayed at home instead
  • He sits alone under the stars on a porch swing made of steel
  • His head hung low down to the ground for the pain that he now feels
  • Why he let him go, God only knows
  • He packed his mother’s only Bible down take a Rosary she said
  • And son please say your prayers tonight when you lay down your head
