Текст песни Steel Still Rusts - Nickelback

Best of days livin' a simple life
There's nowhere to go when
There's only one stop light
His grandmother told him don't
You dare sign up
They'll ship you away to places we
Ain't heard of

Get a degree, and maybe be a doctor
Just ask your daddy, it wont matter when they got ya
Lifetimes you could spend
To find out what she meant
Her final dying breath this is what
She said

Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us
Ashes to ashes turns out steel still rusts
Stone carved in your name no one can really trust
Shoulder another soldier they stole from us

Don't ever bend don't ever crawl
Supposed to stand, and never fall
Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us
Ashes to ashes turns out steel still rusts

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Steel still rusts
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

A third of his life off in a foreign land
Thanks for your service, sincerely uncle sam
Lost the best of friends he'd ever known
And no line of welcome signs once he got back home

He got a job, a doorman at a dive bar
Became a bodyguard, protecting famous Rockstars
Lost count of the times he's been around the world
Promised Grandmama he'd never lose these words

Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us
Ashes to ashes turns out steel still rusts
Stone carved in your name no one can really trust
Shoulder another soldier they stole from us

Don't ever bend don't ever crawl
Supposed to stand, and never fall
Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us
Ashes to ashes turns out steel still rusts

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Steel still rusts
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Dust to dust

Forever feel the wounds that never heal
When fallen friends are now a line of crosses in a field

Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us
Ashes to ashes turns out steel still rusts
Stone carved in your name no one can really trust
Shoulder another soldier they stole from us

Don't ever bend don't ever crawl
Supposed to stand, and never fall
Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us
Ashes to ashes turns out steel still rusts

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Steel still rusts
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Steel still rusts
