I'm wandering these streets alone They don't feel like home This once hallowed ground Feels like a ghost town now I'm on the street corners everyday At night I drink it away. And this flask that saved my life Might be the death of me.
And no man in this city Will take a chance on me The color of my skin Is all they see.
I was a hero when I came home Now no one seems to know And that medal that I received Means nothing to me I keep reading my momma's prayers I find nothing in there That makes any sense to me.
Her god Is no more Than a thief.
Gonna pack up Gonna leave town On a train car Headed north bound I'm gonna leave I'm gonna leave. With my lost hope I'm gonna get out Carry burdens, Carry my guilt I'm gonna leave
Carry burdens Burdens Burdens My burdens I watched the good men fall and brave boys die Hearing soldiers sob in the dead of night Every poor young soul that dies in vain Every soldier lost in this country's name I carry guilt and my shame No pride and no name Just burdens Burdens My burdens My burdens
My guilt and my shame No pride and no name Just burdensTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
