I'd Do Anything (Soldier's Lament)

Tell me what you want girl, you tell me what you need
You know, you just say the word I'll be right there
Yes, I'll be right there at your feet

Because you know you rock girl, yeah
And I love how we roll but I left you all alone
All we got is the phone and it's never gonna be enough

Living in this dugout a million miles away, man, I wish
They'd pad these walls like an institution, man
I'm going crazy because when I'm away from you girl I lose myself
You know my train jumps off tracks and all my pots fall off the shelf

Oh, I'd do anything, yeah, just to be with you
Oh, I'd do anything, oh, just to be with you, girl, be with you

It's a little girl's birthday and, yeah, we are apart
Ain't gonna make a big deal out of it but it breaks my heart
You tell her, papa loves her, yeah and it won't be too long
Till we're all together again
And yes, you know, we're all singing, yes, those songs

I escape into my TV, yeah, I know you understand
Man, they call that shit reality, I'd like to see those fools in Afghanistan
Living in this cold damn world, hell bent on self-destruction
What I need right now is a little bit of love, a little bit of love and affection

Oh, I'd do anything, oh, just to be with you
Oh, I'd do anything, oh, just to be with you, girl
Just to be with you, just to be with you, girl, be with you

Tell me what you want girl, you tell me what you need
You know, you just say the word I'll be right there
Yes, I'll be right there at your feet
