and Buzz Rabin
I'VE SEEN THE OLD MAN SITTING' 'ROUND
THE
COURTHOUSE SQUARE BACK HOME IN TOWN
TALKIN' ABOUT THE BIG WAR BACK IN 1943
SAYING' HOW MUCH
GOOD IT'S DONE
MEDALS GLEAMING' IN THE SUN
CUSSING' AT MY LONG HAIR
AND MY TALK OF
BEING' FREE
THEIR VISION LIKE THEIR BATTLE SCARS
OF OTHER WARS HAS FADED
LIKE THE
COLORS ON THE RIBBONS
FROM THE BATTLES THAT THEY'VE WON
IF THERE'S ONE THING I'VE LEARNED
IT'S THIS
YOU JUST CAN'T SHAKE HAND WITH A FIST
AND I ONCE DID MY TALKIN' WITH A
GUN
AND, OLD MAN, I KNOW WHAT YOU'VE SEEN
BUT YOURS IS NOT THE ONLY DREAM
I HAVE TO
BELIEVE IN SOMETHING MORE THAN YESTERDAY
LET IT DIE JUST LIKE THE PAST
I BELIEVE THERE'S
HOPE AT LAST
OLD MAN, DID YOU EVER HAVE TO PRAY
OLD MAN, CAN YOU SHOW ME THE WAY
HE
SHAKES HIS HEAD FROM TIME TO TIME
AND RAMBLES SOMEWHERE IN HIS MIND
MUMBLING' 'BOUT THE
CIVIL WAR
AND HOW WE SHOULD HAVE WON
SETTING' UP HIS BATTLE PLANS
ON CHECKER BOARDS AT
HIS COMMAND
WATCHING' ALL HIS GALLANT KINGS GO FALLEN' ONE BY ONE
