Song title: Lucinda Williams - Soldier's Song

Edit By: 216.73.216.68

I met my enemy today 
Baby sends the little one out to play 
Enemy shot two of my buddies down 
Baby rides the little one on the 
merry-go-round

By my post, I'm standing guard 
Baby hopes for roses in the front yard 
I don't know my enemy's name 
Baby takes the little one to a 
baseball game

Why am I in this God forsaken place? 
Baby washes the dirt off the 
little one's face 
Ten year olds in the killing fields 
Baby's planning the weekly meals

Bodies in a muddy ditch 
Baby's got supper to fix 
My buddy's got a hole in his head 
Baby's getting the little one ready for bed

Today I shot my enemy 
Baby gives the little one a hug for me 
Both my buddy's legs got blown off 
Baby tends to the little one's cough

I stare down the barrel of a gun 
Baby's goin' out to have some fun 
I hear ringing in my ears 
Baby's face is all wet with tears

I hear echoes of shots 
Baby's only thinkin' sweet thoughts 
Why the hell did they send me 
here to fight? 
Baby kisses my picture and turns 
off the light

I can't look my enemy in the eye 
Baby tells the little one, daddy's 
gone bye-bye 
Today I took a bullet through the heart 
Baby's gonna have to make a 
brand new start

I met my enemy today 
Baby sends the little one out to play 
Enemy shot two of my buddies down 
Baby rides the little one on the 
merry-go-round
