歌詞

Sam Stone came home To the wife and family After serving in the conflict overseas And the time that he served Had shattered all his nerves And left a little shrapnel in his knee But the morphine eased the pain And the grass grew 'round his brain And gave him all the confidence he lacked With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back There's a hole in daddy's arm Where all the money goes Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose Little pitchers have big ears Don't stop to count the years Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios Sam Stone's welcome home Didn't last too long He went to work when he'd spent his last dime And Sammy took to stealin' When he got that empty feelin' For a hundred dollar habit, without overtime And the gold rolled through his veins Like a thousand railroad trains And eased his mind in the hours that he chose While the kids ran around wearin' other people's clothes There's a hole in daddy's arm Where all the money goes Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose Little pitchers have big ears Don't stop to count the years Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios Sam stone was alone When he popped his last balloon Climbing walls while sitting in a chair Well he played his last request While the room smelled just like death With an overdose hovering in the air But life had lost it's fun And there was nothin' to be done But trade his house that he bought on the GI bill For a flag draped casket on the local hero's hill There's a hole in daddy's arm Where all the money goes Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose Little pitchers have big ears Don't stop to count the years Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
