Lucero - Joining the Army lyrics
American alternative country-southern Rock-Band
[Lucero - Joining the Army lyrics]
Told you I was joining the army
Had no excuse seemed the right thing to do
And you called me a fool
Said I'd come back mean and cruel
I said I just wanted to
Make my grandfather proud
Even though he's not around
Been gone since, I was thirteen
I'm still worried what he'd think about me
Playing this guitar just ain't gonna
Cut it for long
I mean singing these songs don't compare
To what he did over there
Need to prove I can carry my share
Take on my own load to bear
To me, it all seems fair
Had no excuse seemed the right thing to do
And you called me a fool
Said I'd come back mean and cruel
I said I just wanted to
Make my grandfather proud
Even though he's not around
Been gone since, I was thirteen
I'm still worried what he'd think about me
Playing this guitar just ain't gonna
Cut it for long
I mean singing these songs don't compare
To what he did over there
Need to prove I can carry my share
Take on my own load to bear
To me, it all seems fair
