Soldier's Song

[00:12.94] I met my enemy today
[00:18.36] A baby takes the little one out to play
[00:24.07] Enemy shot two of my buddies down
[00:29.87] Baby rides the little one to the merry-go-round
[00:35.34] By my post I'm standing guard
[00:40.97] Baby hopes for roses on the front yard
[00:46.47] I don't know my enemy's name
[00:51.98] Baby takes the little one to a baseball game
[00:56.79]
[01:08.44] I am in this Godforsaken place
[01:14.03] My baby washed the dirt from a little one's face
[01:19.98] Ten years old in the killing fields
[01:25.36] My baby's planning the weekly meals
[01:31.42] Body is in a body ditch
[01:36.77] My baby's got a supper to fix
[01:42.42] My brother's got a hole in his head
[01:48.16] Baby gets the little one ready for bed
[01:53.43]
[02:05.00] Today I shot my enemy
[02:10.57] Baby gives the little one a hug for me
[02:16.03] Both my buddy's legs got blown off
[02:21.76] Baby tends to the little one's cough
[02:27.06] I stare down at the barrel of a gun
[02:32.71] Baby's goin' out to have some fun
[02:38.39] And I hear a ringing in my ears
[02:43.83] My baby's face is all wet with tears
[02:49.00]
[03:10.92] I can't look my enemy in the eye
[03:16.67] Baby tells the little one daddy's gone, bye-bye
[03:22.32] Today I took a bullet in the heart
[03:27.33] Now baby's gonna have to make a brand-new start
[03:33.10]
[03:55.34] I met my enemy today
[04:01.03] Baby sends the little ones out to play
[04:07.09] Enemy's shot took my budie down
[04:12.79] Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round
[04:18.09]
