Bobby Bare - Good Christian Soldier слова песни
(Bobby Bare - Billy Joe Shaver)
Not so long ago in Oklahoma
The son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray
He said Lord I wanna be a Christian soldier just like you
And fight to build a new and better day.
Now many years and miles from Oklahoma
That same young Okie boy still kneels to pray
But he don`t pray to be a Christian soldier anymore
He just prays to make it through another day.
`Cause Lord it`s hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
It hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we`re playin` cards and writin` home and havin` lots of fun
Telling jokes and learning how to die.
Things I`m seeing now seem so confusin`
Lord it`s gettin` hard to tell what`s wrong from right
I can`t separate the winners from the losers anymore
So I`m thinking bout just giving up the fight.
`Cause Lord it`s hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
It hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we`re playin` cards and writin` home and havin` lots of fun
Telling jokes and learning how to die...
