Southern Sympathy

Soldier's Lament

The war was

Over

And we

Lost

What's a soldier 

To do

When all they know

Is over

You come home

Expecting glory

But get

Hate instead

You fought

For these people

Yet

They act like 

You're the enemy

Why did I

Survive?

I wonder

Every night

The sounds

And smells

Of war

Stay with me 

Always

And forever

I'll never 

Let it

Go

Away from

Here

I need to

Leave

Like my 

Girl left

Me

Just go

Into the woods

And never

Come back

Before the

Trials begin

I will hold

My broken pieces 

Together

So that I

Can overcome

My dreams

At night

But what's

A man to do

When all they

Think of

Is you?
