Sam Stone (LP版) - John Prine[00:00:00]
Sam stone came home to his wife and family[00:00:03]
After serving in the conflict overseas[00:00:10]
And the time that he served[00:00:17]
Had shattered all his nerves[00:00:20]
And left a little shrapnel in his knee[00:00:24]
But the M******e eased the pain[00:00:31]
And the grass grew round his brain[00:00:35]
And gave him all the confidence he lacked[00:00:39]
With a purple heart and a monkey on his back[00:00:45]
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes[00:00:53]
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose[00:01:01]
Little pitchers have big ears[00:01:07]
Don't stop to count the years[00:01:10]
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:01:14]
Sam stone's welcome home didn't last too long[00:01:25]
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime[00:01:33]
And Sammy took to stealing[00:01:39]
When he got that empty feeling[00:01:43]
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime[00:01:46]
And the gold rolled through his veins[00:01:54]
Like a thousand railroad trains[00:01:57]
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose[00:02:01]
While the kids ran around wearing other peoples' clothes[00:02:08]
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes[00:02:15]
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose[00:02:24]
Little pitchers have big ears[00:02:30]
Don't stop to count the years[00:02:33]
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:02:37]
Sam stone was alone when he popped his last balloon[00:02:48]
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair[00:02:56]
Well he played his last request[00:03:02]
While the room smelled just like death[00:03:06]
With an overdose hovering in the air[00:03:09]
But life had lost its fun[00:03:17]
And there was nothing to be done[00:03:20]
But trade his house that he bought on the G I bill[00:03:24]
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill[00:03:31]
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes[00:03:38]
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose[00:03:47]
Little pitchers have big ears[00:03:53]
Don't stop to count the years[00:03:56]
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:04:00]
