Story Behind The Song

woke up the day after hearing 2500 US soldiers had died in Iraq. wrote 1 verse, turned on the recorder and went. THis is the first take guitar, bass was overdubbed. PEACE!

Lyrics

Mama don't you cry
Your loving son's not gonna die
I'm going off to war
Many men have survived before

Sister don't you cry
Your big brother's not gonna die
I'm serving Mr. Bush
He says we'll give it one last push

And then everybody's coming home

I got my arms and legs with me
I'm just one that got lucky
I've my nose and my ears too
I'm just so happy it's for you

Honey don't you cry
Your husbands will return to fly
we'll take it off someday
As long as someone has to. (Pay)

Baby don't you cry
Your daddy's not gonna die
I'm heeaded off to war
Many men have returned before

Mama don't you cry
Your loving son's not afraid to die
(CRASH)
