Steve Earle - John Walker's Blues lyrics

N Walker’s Blues Lyrics
I'm just an American boy raised on MTV
And I've seen all the kids
In the soda pop ads
But none of 'em looked like me
So I started lookin' around for a
Light out of the dim
And the first thing I heard that
Made sense was the word
Of Muhammad, peace be upon him

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
There's no God but God
If my daddy could see me now
Chains around my feet
He don't understand that sometimes a man
Has got to fight for what he believes
And I believe God is great
All praise due to him
And if I should die, I'd rise up to the sky
Just like Jesus, peace be upon him

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
There's no God but God

We came to fight the Jihad and
Our hearts were pure and strong
And death filled the air
We all offered up prayers
And prepared for our martyrdom
Ah, but Allah had some other plan
Some secret not revealed
Now they're draggin' me back
With my head in a sack to
The land of the infidel

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
