We all wind up on the same side
It's the only paper that I could find
Out here I got me and I got my buddy
I hope my government can say the same
And I'll be back when it finally ends
Sorry about writin' on dirty cardboard
Pray for me and all my sins
I try not to think about my family
Ma I don't want to but I will
Pray for me, pray for my soul, Ma
Late at night when I can dream, Ma
Really I'm tryin' to do the right thing
And I don't know these men I kill
I think about life back in the world
'Cause I don't know the man that kills me
Tell everyone I got their letters
And I don't know these men I kill
Ma are you proud, are you ashamed
Tell everyone I'm doin' fine
They say that I got a job to do now
I miss my wife and my baby girl
'Cause it's a little too much to take
Wash away the blood I spilled
Do you think I should be fighting?
I pray to God for my salvation
They say we're goin' in with the daylight
We can't afford even one mistake
I miss you and Dad, I miss sister Sarah
'Cause I won't know the man that kills me
