[00:00:00] Great Society Conflict Veteran's Blues - John Prine

[00:00:31] Sam Stone came home

[00:00:34] To his wife and family

[00:00:37] After serving in the conflict overseas

[00:00:44] And the time that he served

[00:00:47] Had shattered all his nerves

[00:00:50] And left a little shrapnel in his knee

[00:00:56] But the M******e eased the pain

[00:00:59] And the grass grew round his brain

[00:01:02] And gave him all the confidence he lacked

[00:01:08] With a purple heart and a monkey on his back

[00:01:15] There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

[00:01:22] Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose

[00:01:28] Little pitchers have big ears

[00:01:31] Don't stop to count the years

[00:01:35] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

[00:01:47] Sam Stone's welcome home

[00:01:50] Didn't last too long

[00:01:54] He went to work when he'd spent his last dime

[00:02:00] And Sammy took to stealing

[00:02:02] When he got that empty feeling

[00:02:06] For a hundred dollar habit without overtime

[00:02:12] And the gold rolled through his veins

[00:02:15] Like a thousand railroad trains

[00:02:18] And eased his mind in the hours that he chose

[00:02:24] While the kids ran around wearin' other people's clothes

[00:02:31] There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

[00:02:38] Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose

[00:02:44] Little pitchers have big ears

[00:02:47] Don't stop to count the years

[00:02:50] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

[00:03:03] Sam Stone was alone

[00:03:06] When he popped his last balloon

[00:03:10] Climbing walls while sitting in a chair

[00:03:15] Well he played his last request

[00:03:19] While the room smelled just like death

[00:03:22] With an overdose hovering in the air

[00:03:28] But life had lost it's fun

[00:03:31] And there was nothing to be done

[00:03:34] But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill

[00:03:41] For a flag draped casket on a local heroe's hill

[00:03:47] There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

[00:03:55] Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose

[00:04:01] Little pitchers have big ears

[00:04:04] Don't stop to count the years

[00:04:07] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
