midnightrambler Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 After 9/11 His classmates didn’t understand Why he joined the Army That sent him to Afghanistan He wrote to his father “We got the Taliban on the run” Proudly serving his country Getting the dirty job done Two tours of duty Three medals and honorable discharge He moved west to Stockton Took a job down at the lumberyard He called his father “don’t you worry none” In this land of promise One day his reward would come It was late one Tuesday He saw her at the end of the bar She was rich and sexy She caught his eye and then she took his heart They went down to Palm Springs Ready for a life of fun He moved into her condo Life was heaven in the sun But their love was fleeting As many great loves do When your heart is beating You can’t recognize the clue He shot her dead On a California road When they caught him all he said She wouldn’t wash and fold his clothes In jail sits our hero Waiting for his own parole He found Lonesome Valley Searching for the pot of gold Link to comment
