Violin (feat. Lee Brice)

I'm down on my knees again

A call for my repentance

The war has taken over me

I beg for the forgiveness

The bullets ricochet, uh

I hear 'em when I sleep now

The blood is on my hands, Lord

From man, woman, and child

(A solider from my country)

I'm a soldier from my country

(But a slave unto my gun)

But a slave unto my gun

(The screams that echo louder)

The screams that echo louder

(Kill, kill)

God, what have I become?

I pledge my allegiance

I left my family, a newborn baby

To slay the enemy, the struggle for power

The lust, the vanity

I trusted America, she took my sanity

Winds of change rollin' in

Take your love back again

I you fool, amen

Just a bow for your violin

You played me

You made me your violin

She looks at her reflection

Eyes black and blue

She told the she would leave him

She said she was through

He took her from a small town

Showed her the big city life

He promised her the world

Then he made her his wife

(He run around town)

But runs around town

(Lies, lies)

He's a cheater and a beater

(She's sleepin' with the enemy)

She's sleepin' with the enemy

(No one believes her)

But on one believes her

A diamond ring, a glass of whiskey

The bottle of pain pills open and empty

She left a letter, to hell I send thee

Brought home flowers, ashamed and guilty

Too late

Winds of change rollin' in

Take your love back again

I you fool, amen

Just a bow for your violin

You played me

You made me your violin

Used like a rag

I've washed up and dragged through the mud like a leaf

All my beefs and my loves take it up, take it down

Took a left, took a right

There's no one to be found

To explain to me why

Why it was me that was brought to the edge of the cliff

'Cause, see, this is not fair, but why should you care?

The choices I've made are mine, but I swear

That all cannot be the fault of just me

I've tried to maintain my wants and my needs

To work and not see the changes I strive for

A better life for my family I would die for

Take away everything from me and ask why more

Tell me to make a decision in front of five doors

There's a prayer and I'm saying, why Lord?

Send me to war without a sword

I'll fight and I fight more

I'll travel the long road

'Cause I'm just a violin, my life is another chord

You played me

'Cause I'm just a violin, my life is another chord

You made me your violin

You played me

(Violin)

You made me your violin
