《Sadr City》歌词

[00:00:00] Sadr City (萨德尔城) - Corb Lund

[00:00:17] Honey

[00:00:17] Don't tell the boys that I'm talking like this

[00:00:20] 'Cause I can't have 'em thinking I'm scared

[00:00:24] The truth is I ain't afraid of nothing no more

[00:00:29] I'm tired and I just don't care

[00:00:32] How many tours is too many tours

[00:00:36] My baby she'd like to know

[00:00:40] Always nagging at the back

[00:00:43] Of my mind is that Jody's there when I go

[00:00:48] Never let them send me back to Sadr City

[00:00:52] Never let them send me back

[00:00:56] Some sh*t went down

[00:00:57] Down in Sadr City

[00:01:00] Some sh*t went down in Iraq

[00:01:03] I ain't going back

[00:01:11] Well I was

[00:01:12] There in '04 when it first got hot

[00:01:15] And Mahdi's local fighters emerged

[00:01:20] Earned a purple heart via 762

[00:01:23] And a second later during the surge

[00:01:27] Didn't know nothing back then didn't care

[00:01:31] It was get it on and kick us some a**

[00:01:35] Couldn't tell a Sunni from a Shi'a from the Kurds

[00:01:39] But they educated me pretty fast

[00:01:43] Never let them send me back to Sadr City

[00:01:47] Never let them send me back

[00:01:51] Some sh*t went down

[00:01:53] Down in Sadr City

[00:01:55] Some sh*t went down in Iraq

[00:01:58] I ain't going back

[00:02:06] Well it was pretty touch and go from the very first night

[00:02:10] Fiercest action I'd ever seen

[00:02:15] Ambush come and we had to dismount

[00:02:18] Get busy fighting out in the

[00:02:21] Street

[00:02:22] Well all hell broke loose under fire from the rooftops

[00:02:26] Haji launching RPGs

[00:02:30] Fighting running battles with militias in the alleys

[00:02:34] Dragging on and on week after week

[00:02:38] Taking hits at fifty meters from the Shrine nearby

[00:02:42] But they wouldn't let us light up a Mosque

[00:02:46] Then our tanks rolled in

[00:02:47] Real hard real heavy

[00:02:50] But they couldn't help the guys that we'd lost

[00:03:24] Well I don't know if it matters to the folks back home

[00:03:29] But they say they're all supporting the troops

[00:03:32] There's no time anyway to be dwelling on that

[00:03:36] Out here thinking's only for fools

[00:03:40] And as long as there's no lack of young man willing

[00:03:44] To ride to the sound of the guns

[00:03:48] I'll be waking up dreaming of the Mahdi Army

[00:03:52] And of both sides losing their sons

[00:03:56] They ain't a gonna send me back to Sadr City

[00:04:00] They ain't a gonna send me back

[00:04:04] My orders came through and babe it isn't pretty

[00:04:08] It's Afghanistan instead of Iraq

[00:04:11] They're sending me back
