Brother, Oh Brother
(专辑: Small Town Hymns - 2010)
Oh Brother, oh Brother, oh Brother of mine I'm writing you a
letter, it's been a
long time Tell Mama that I
love her, tell her everything's fine Oh Brother, oh Brother, oh Brother of mine My daddy lived by the
gun and his daddy did too Back when serving your country wasn't up to you He said some were born to talk, boy, and some were born to shoot My daddy lived by the
gun and his daddy did too So I
got my daddy's name stitched across my chest And now I
can drop a
man from about two clicks I
wonder if he's proud of me yet I've got my daddy's name stitched across my chest Now my hands are tired and my feet are sore And I'm sick of dodging bullets for another man's war I've lost all sight of what I'm fighting for My hands are tired and my feet are sore 'Cause I've been fighting for an answer that's long been lost Did God walk through the
desert or die on a
cross? These stars and stripes my albatross I've been fighting for an answer that's long been lost So I
got my rifle steady and my aim is true No matter what side I
pledge allegiance to I'm just doin the
job I
get paid to do I
got my rifle steady and my aim is true Because my momma did her best to raise me well She taught me 'bout heaven and she taught me 'bout hell Now where I'll end up, man it's hard to tell Momma did her best to raise me well The
war can bring out the
worst in a
man When you country's got your heart and the
devil's got your hand It'll make you do things you never had planned War can bring out the
worst in a
man Oh Brother, oh Brother, oh Brother of mine If you're reading this letter it's the
end of the
line I
ran out of luck, I
ran out of time Oh Brother, oh Brother, oh Brother of mine
