Lyrics
Sometimes I wake and I wonder What the hell went on last night Roused from this rack I stumble To get myself standin' upright This train wreck in my head Must be the bottles evil spell Last night's memories erased But all the signs point straight to hell And I pray for me every day And I wonder sometimes why god lets me stay For some crazy reason I have remained One step from an early grave Time to head out to the front line Of a war they waged in a foreign land I've heard the bullets fly by I've seen them hit and kill my friends Just want to go home an' hold my loved ones I can only hope someone's waiting there I've got a job to do and it's my duty Until it's done I'm not going anywhere And I pray for me every day And I wonder sometimes why god lets me stay For some crazy reason I have remained One step from an early grave
