By Samuel Shoemaker

Verse 1:
Fell in love with a dancing girl,
Fell so hard that it wrecked my world
Headed off to a place in Iraq, and that man she loved never made it back
Take me out on a starry night, butterfly under my thumb
If you come out and play with me, you'll dance to the beat of my drum

Get addicted to the rhythm of the right, and the thrill of catching fire in a town
Get obsessed with the deam you become
When you watch a buddy fall to the ground

Chorus:
When I come home, you ain't gonna love me no more
Cause this war is poison deep in my veins
The loving and the fighting, O, the killing and the dying
Wrap you up in deep in its game

You... you bring me to my knees
Despite of, all these lies, that I would, just love to believe
I feel lost and alone
I feel lost in this prison that has become my home
You... you bring me to my knees

Verse 2:
We drove off of Camp Lejeune, on November 15th
She left me down in Boise, couple days before Spring
That bender led me through the Valley of Death,
I felt the loneliness that lives on the Moon,
Took me down to a Hole in the Ground
That the locals call Wazoo

Chorus:
When I come home, you ain't gonna love me no more
Cause this war is poison deep in my veins
The loving and the fighting, O, the killing and the dying
Wrap you up in deep in its game

You... you bring me to my knees
Despite of, all these lies, that I would, just love to believe
I feel lost and alone
I feel lost in this prison that has become my home
You... you bring me to my knees

Verse 3:
Give me that old scarred fiddle,
I earned something to say.
The reason I went through all that pain
Was to play this song today
