Great Society Conflict Veteran's Blues - John Prine[00:00:00]

Sam Stone came home[00:00:31]

To his wife and family[00:00:34]

After serving in the conflict overseas[00:00:37]

And the time that he served[00:00:44]

Had shattered all his nerves[00:00:47]

And left a little shrapnel in his knee[00:00:50]

But the M******e eased the pain[00:00:56]

And the grass grew round his brain[00:00:59]

And gave him all the confidence he lacked[00:01:02]

With a purple heart and a monkey on his back[00:01:08]

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes[00:01:15]

Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose[00:01:22]

Little pitchers have big ears[00:01:28]

Don't stop to count the years[00:01:31]

Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:01:35]

Sam Stone's welcome home[00:01:47]

Didn't last too long[00:01:50]

He went to work when he'd spent his last dime[00:01:54]

And Sammy took to stealing[00:02:00]

When he got that empty feeling[00:02:02]

For a hundred dollar habit without overtime[00:02:06]

And the gold rolled through his veins[00:02:12]

Like a thousand railroad trains[00:02:15]

And eased his mind in the hours that he chose[00:02:18]

While the kids ran around wearin' other people's clothes[00:02:24]

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes[00:02:31]

Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose[00:02:38]

Little pitchers have big ears[00:02:44]

Don't stop to count the years[00:02:47]

Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:02:50]

Sam Stone was alone[00:03:03]

When he popped his last balloon[00:03:06]

Climbing walls while sitting in a chair[00:03:10]

Well he played his last request[00:03:15]

While the room smelled just like death[00:03:19]

With an overdose hovering in the air[00:03:22]

But life had lost it's fun[00:03:28]

And there was nothing to be done[00:03:31]

But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill[00:03:34]

For a flag draped casket on a local heroe's hill[00:03:41]

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes[00:03:47]

Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose[00:03:55]

Little pitchers have big ears[00:04:01]

Don't stop to count the years[00:04:04]

Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios[00:04:07]
