Belmont and 6th

Belmont and Sixth

 (Radney Foster)

 At the corner of Belmont and Sixth

 There's a guy who’s just trying to stay warm

 Selling papers for a buck you won't miss

 In an old camo uniform

 I try and buy one when I can

 Ah, but nothing 'bout it ever feels right

 So when the light turns green at Belmont & Sixth, I cry

 Oh, I cry for the ones who are tired and lonely

 So tangled and torn

 Cause they fought for our country

 Came home but the pieces don't fit

 Like the guy at Belmont and Sixth

 He volunteered to go through hell

 And part of him's still back there

 I know he's pretty high sometimes

 He smiles but his eyes look so scared 

 It makes me cry for the ones who are tired and lonely

 Tangled and torn

 ‘Cause they fought for our country

 Came home but don’t feel like they fit

 Like the guy at Belmont and Sixth

 Monday, he wasn't in his regular spot,

 My heart raced through a million emotions

 Maybe he's sick or just found a job

 I thought about war

 And how some always come home so broken

 So I cried for the ones who are tired and lonely

 So tangled and torn

 Cause they fought for our country

 Came home but don’t feel like they fit

 Yeah, I cried for the families, prayed for us all

 For the brave and proud who stumble and fall

 And I cried for what we outta fix

 For that guy at Belmont and Sixth

 Yeah, I cried for what we outta fix

 Like the guy at Belmont and Sixth
