I got a knife to my back
I pulled the bullets off your chest and then
Carried the weight of your dead body to your house
You should have seen ourselves
Like the heroes from the novels we once read
Bringing it all back home to find the peace for which we fought
Life went on without you but I could not forgive myself
Life was good without you but I could not forget that then
Your wife just couldn't weep
Your kids were sick and nowhere to be seen
All the men got drunk and spent the night singing our songs
Oh man, did we pray
For we wanted your soul to be saved
And the lightning sky blinded us and it felt great
Life went on without you but I could not forgive myself
Life was good without you but I could not forget that then
I got sent to tell you that I confessed my biggest sin
Your wife was loving and your life was worth it
So long
Now I'll do my time in hell
So long
Now I'll do my time, I'll do my time in hell
