paroles de chanson Sam Stone - Swamp Dogg

Sam Stone came home
To his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas.
In the Times that he serve
It had shattered all his nerve
And left a little shrapnel in his knee
But the morphine eased the pain
And the grass grew round his brain
And gave him all the confidence he lack
For a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose
Little pictures have big ears
But don't stop to count the years
Sweet songs never last to long on broken radios

Sam Stone's welcome home didn't last too long
He went to work when he spent his last dime
And then Sammy took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime
And the cold r thru his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains
Eased his mind in the hours that he chose
While his kids ran around wearing other people's clothes.
There's a whole in daddy s arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose
Little pictures have big ears
But don't stop to count the years
Sweet songs never last to long on broken radios.

Sam Stone was alone when he popped his last balloon
Climbing walls while sit in a chair
But he played his last request
While the room smelled just like death
With an overdose hovering in the air.
But life had lost all its fun
And there's nothing to be done
But trade his house that he bought on a GI bill
For a Flag ship casket over at Motel Heroes'Hill
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes.
Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose
Little pictures have big ears
But don't stop to count the years
Sweet songs never last to long on broken radios
