Dear Old America - Live

Lyrics

Standing in line on the depot floor
 Taking my time getting through the door
 Daddy said "go!" and Mama just cried
 Sister said "devil's on the other side"
 Hurricane blowing water gets high
 Can't turn around or I'll drown in lies
 When I get back I'm gonna own this town
 Shine that medal and wear that crown
 Fall on my knees and kiss the ground...
 Dear old America
 Run run rabbit save your rabbit skin
 Jump right back in your hole again
 Bullets they cry whispering drone
 Fire in the sky God's on the phone
 When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts
 Dream my dreams and shut my mouth
 Nobody knows what this is all about
 Dear old America
 We don't beg and we don't run
 We don't lose we don't overcome
 Purple mountain majesty sliding to a broken sea
 Daddy he swear and Mama she cry
 "My sweet baby she's bound to die"
 When I get back I'm gonna feel just fine
 One more day I'm gonna do my time
 Ain't no hammer gonna ring like mine
 When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts
 Dream my dreams and shut my mouth
 Nobody knows what this is all about now
 When I get home I'm gonna shove my doubts
 Dream my dreams and shut my mouth
 Nobody knows what this is all about
