Good Christian Soldier
(专辑: The Silver Tongued Devil And I - 1971)
Not so long ago, in Oklahoma The
son of an Okie preacher, knelt to pray He said Lord I
wanna be a
Christian soldier, just like you And fight to build a
new, and better day Now many years and miles, from Oklahoma That same young Okie boy still kneels to pray But he don't pray to be no Christian soldier, anymore He just prays, to make it through, another day 'Cause it's hard to be a
Christian soldier, when you tote a
gun And it hurts to have to watch a
grown man cry But we're, playing cards, writing home, an' having lots of fun Telling jokes and learning how to die You know the
things I've come to know, seem so confusing And it's getting hard to tell, what's wrong from right I
can't separate the
winners from the
losers anymore And I'm thinking of just giving up the
fight 'Cause it's hard to be a
Christian soldier, when you tote a
gun And it hurts to have to watch a
grown man cry But we're, playing cards, writing home, an' ain't we having fun Turning on and learning how to die
