Good Christian Soldier - Billy Joe Shaver[00:00:00]
Not so long ago in Oklahoma[00:00:05]
The son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray[00:00:13]
He said Lord[00:00:21]
I wanna to be a Christian soldier just for you[00:00:22]
And fight to build a new[00:00:30]
And better day[00:00:33]
Now many years[00:00:38]
And miles from Oklahoma[00:00:40]
That same young Okie boy[00:00:46]
Still kneels to pray[00:00:50]
But he don't pray to be[00:00:55]
No Christian soldier anymore[00:00:58]
He just prays to make it[00:01:03]
Through another day[00:01:06]
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier[00:01:11]
When you tote a gun[00:01:16]
And it hurts to have to[00:01:19]
Watch a grown man cry[00:01:23]
But we're playin' cards[00:01:28]
Writin' home havin' lots of fun[00:01:31]
Telling jokes and learning how to die[00:01:38]
The Now things I've come to know[00:01:47]
Seem so confusin'[00:01:49]
It's gettin' hard to tell[00:01:55]
What's wrong from right[00:01:57]
I can't seperate the winners[00:02:02]
From the losers anymore[00:02:05]
So thinking about just giving up the fight[00:02:10]
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier[00:02:17]
When you tote a gun[00:02:23]
And it hurts to have to[00:02:26]
Watch the children cry[00:02:29]
But we're playin' cards[00:02:35]
Writin' home ain't we hadn't fun[00:02:38]
Turning on and learning how to die[00:02:44]
