Deployed and Destroyed

He only calls when he's in jail
Thinks I have money for his bail
I still love you, we're still friends
But I can't bail you out again
26 And a homeless vet
Told me all this on the day we met
I still love you, we're still friends
But I can't calm you down again

You'd believe in angels if you heard him sing
He's got a gift only hardships bring
He's been called a man since he was a boy
Fought for Uncle Sam and they left him
Deployed, destroyed

He's from a small town in the south
A town he dreamed of getting out
He loved his mother, loved his pa
Longed to see more than he saw
Troops they came down to his school
To make sure their front lines stayed full
He loved his mother, loved his pa
But had to join cause duty called

You'd believe in angels if you heard him sing
He's got a gift only hardships bring
He's been called a man since he was a boy
Fought for Uncle Sam and they left him
Deployed, destroyed

You'd believe in angels if you heard him sing
He's got a gift only hardships bring
He's been called a man since he was a boy
Fought for Uncle Sam and they left him
You'd believe in angels if you heard him sing
He's got a gift only hardships bring
He's been called a man since he was a boy
Fought for Uncle Sam and they left him
Deployed, destroyed

You know they left him
Deployed, destroyed
Man they left him
Deployed, destroyed
You know they left him
Deployed, destroyed
