Don't Go

Another southern boy trying to get his degree

Signed off his name to the military

He enlisted like his dad did before

Coz he didn’t want stick around his home no more

He said

Son,stand up straight, stand inline

Like when they called my number back in ‘69

Don’t wait around no more boy for WWIII

Cause no one’s too innocent for enemies

And she said

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby!

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby!

He met a southern belle on the cheap seats in the lawn

At a heartbreakers concert,they kissed on the last song

It didn’t take long ‘til they were saying “I do”

But he’d solemnly swore to the army too

She wore a long white dress, he wore his uniform

As the water was arising on the arabian shores

He watched the towers fall,knew he’d have to go

The honeymoon could could wait, no more Mexico

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby!

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby!

My baby

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby!’

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby

He wondered who he was fighting for to be free

When he was staying up for days taking amphetamines

You knew you don’t have to live like a refugee

But he said

The army life is the life for me

Everytime he’d salute he’d look down at his

Wedding band

And every night he thought he saw her face in the sand

One night he left his post,stumbled into the dark

It only took her fourth step don’t even need a spark she said

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby!

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby!

My baby

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby!’

Don’t

Don’t go

Don’t go

Don’t go my baby
