Edwin McCain - Take Me Lyrics
I pull my boots off, throw my weapons on the floorCry my eyes out, in my private little warWell it seems Ive been a soldierHeaven knows Ive been no saintIn my camouflage and armor, cold heart and grease paintTo you this has no meaning the armistice laid downThe armies are all quiet and the guns dont make a soundcause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wireFilled in the trenches, demanded a cease fireAnd now youre leaving, theres nothing I can doI want you to know youre gonna take me with youWell now three on a match is suicide in the foxhole of my mindAnd way off in the distance the air raid sirens whineAnd they sing your song of rescue to my tattered worn out shellYou drag me to your safety from this my front line hellcause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wireFilled in the trenches, demanded a cease fireAnd now youre leaving, theres nothing I can doI want you to know youre gonna take me with youThe blood that was spilled in the heartache beforeLeft road maps of scars that I never could ignorecause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wireFilled in the trenches, demanded a cease fireAnd now youre leaving, theres nothing I can doI want you to know youre gonna take me with you
