Jagged Old Wound

Jagged Old Wound walt stewart 11-18-09, copy right
He was my hero, on that starless night
wish I‘d done more in that fire fight
should have been me, it could of been me
he pushed me away, I wish it been me
My heart hurts can’t think at all
The tears are here but they won’t fall
Oh where are you honey, not feeling too sunny
I just don’t know why he had to go ?
Maybe a new truck will help my pain
Some chocolate chips or … cocaine
A trip to Cabo to smoke more pot
Gotta fill this hole where he got shot
Stuck in this sand, done my share of harm
Ain’t coming back, fifth tour’s a charm
This war’s been hell, its eating our lunch
I’m coming home baby, God I miss them so much
Been home sometime now, sleep comes in small
Waitress knows to seat me, in the chair against the wall
People drive so crazy here, they just got to cease
Don’t get too close now, I just want my peace
Maybe a new truck will help my pain
Some chocolate chips or … cocaine
A trip to Cabo smoke more pot
Gotta fill this hole where they all are not.
