Ballad Of A Lonely Man
I'm young and I'm strong
I've got this God forsaken world by the balls
I've got a one-way ticket to freedom
Ain't no one now gonna take it from me
I was a soldier, age twenty-one
In a war I'm not sure what I was fighting for
And yet I turned from a boy to a man there
Goodbye to innocence and a sweet sixteen
My whole life I could not arrange
My wicked ways I could never change
Don't try, don't try now to understand
For this is the ballad of a lonely man
Close to me is a photograph
Of a family left far, far behind
At once I had love it slipped away from
I searched a lifetime but could not find
In a hospital bed, I'm violently ill
Just one more drink nurse, I swear to God
I've got my St. Anthony and my whiskey
Yes, I'm a veteran of three foreign wars
My whole life I could not arrange
My wicked ways I could never change
Don't try, don't try now to understand
For this is the ballad of a lonely man
Hit it boys
My whole life I could not arrange
My wicked ways I could never change
Don't try, don't try now to understand
For this is the ballad of a lonely man
This is the ballad of a lonely man
This is the ballad of a lonely man
I've got this God forsaken world by the balls
I've got a one-way ticket to freedom
Ain't no one now gonna take it from me
I was a soldier, age twenty-one
In a war I'm not sure what I was fighting for
And yet I turned from a boy to a man there
Goodbye to innocence and a sweet sixteen
My whole life I could not arrange
My wicked ways I could never change
Don't try, don't try now to understand
For this is the ballad of a lonely man
Close to me is a photograph
Of a family left far, far behind
At once I had love it slipped away from
I searched a lifetime but could not find
In a hospital bed, I'm violently ill
Just one more drink nurse, I swear to God
I've got my St. Anthony and my whiskey
Yes, I'm a veteran of three foreign wars
My whole life I could not arrange
My wicked ways I could never change
Don't try, don't try now to understand
For this is the ballad of a lonely man
Hit it boys
My whole life I could not arrange
My wicked ways I could never change
Don't try, don't try now to understand
For this is the ballad of a lonely man
This is the ballad of a lonely man
This is the ballad of a lonely man
