Sam Stone - Al Kooper[00:00:00]
Sam Stone came home to his wife and family[00:00:15]
After serving in the conflict overseas[00:00:22]
Now in the time that he had served [00:00:29]
It had shattered all his nerves[00:00:33]
And it left a little shrapnel in his knee[00:00:37]
But the morphine eased the pain[00:00:44]
And the grass grew round his brain[00:00:48]
And it gave him all the confidence he lacked[00:00:52]
With a purple heart and a monkey on his back[00:00:59]
There's a hole in daddy's arm[00:01:06]
Where all the money goes[00:01:10]
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose[00:01:15]
Now little pitchers have big ears [00:01:21]
But don't just stop to count the years[00:01:25]
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:01:30]
Sam Stone's welcome home [00:01:40]
Didn't last too long[00:01:44]
No he went to work after he spread his last dime[00:01:48]
And then Sammy[00:01:55]
Took to stealing[00:01:57]
When he get that empty feeling[00:01:59]
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime[00:02:03]
And the cold rolled through his veins[00:02:10]
Like a thousand railroad trains[00:02:14]
And it eased his mind in the hours[00:02:17]
That he chose[00:02:21]
While the kids ran around[00:02:25]
Wearin' other peoples' clothes[00:02:26]
There's a hole in daddy's arm[00:02:32]
Where all the money goes[00:02:36]
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose[00:02:40]
Now little pitchers have big ears [00:02:47]
But don't just stop to count the years[00:02:51]
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:02:55]
Sam Stone was alone[00:03:06]
When he popped his last balloon[00:03:09]
Climbing walls while sit there in a chair[00:03:14]
He played his last request[00:03:21]
While the room stormed just like death[00:03:24]
With an overdose just hovering in the air[00:03:28]
But life had lost dollar it's fun[00:03:35]
And now there's nothing to be done[00:03:39]
But to trade his home that he bought on the G I Bill[00:03:43]
For what[00:03:48]
A flag draped casket on some local heroes' hill[00:03:50]
There's a hole in daddy's arm[00:03:57]
Where all the money goes[00:04:01]
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose[00:04:06]
Little pitchers have big ears [00:04:12]
But don't just stop to count the years[00:04:16]
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:04:20]
