Steve Earle - Rich Man's War Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Jimmy joined the army ‘cause he had no place to go
  • There ain’t nobody hirin’
  • ‘round here since all the jobs went
  • Down to Mexico
  • Reckoned that he’d learn himself a trade maybe see the world
  • Move to the city someday and marry a black haired girl
  • Somebody somewhere had another plan
  • Now he’s got a rifle in his hand
  • Rollin’ into Baghdad wonderin’ how he got this far
  • Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man’s war
  • Bobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm
  • Red white and blue to the bone when he landed in Kandahar
  • Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl
  • A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the world
  • Been a year now and he’s still there
  • Chasin’ ghosts in the thin dry air
  • Meanwhile back at home the finance company took his car
  • Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man’s war
  • When will we ever learn
  • When will we ever see
  • We stand up and take our turn
  • And keep tellin’ ourselves we’re free
  • Ali was the second son of a second son
  • Grew up in Gaza throwing bottles and rocks when the tanks would come
  • Ain’t nothin’ else to do around here just a game children play
  • Somethin’ ‘bout livin’ in fear all your life makes you hard that way
  • He answered when he got the call
  • Wrapped himself in death and praised Allah
  • A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door
  • Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man’s war
