Sittin' restless under the moonlight I know I'm gettin' ready to kill They say we're goin' in with the daylight Ma I don't want to but I will
'Cause I don't know the man that kills me And I don't know these men I kill I pray to God for my salvation Wash away the blood I spilled
I try not to think about my family 'Cause it's a little too much to take Out here I got me and I got my buddy We can't afford even one mistake
Sorry about writin' on dirty cardboard It's the only paper that I could find Tell everyone I got their letters Tell everyone I'm doin' fine
Late at night when I can dream, Ma I think about life back in the world I miss you and Dad, I miss sister Sarah I miss my wife and my baby girl
Pray for me, pray for my soul, Ma Pray for me and all my sins They say that I got a job to do now And I'll be back when it finally ends
Do you think I should be fighting? Ma are you proud, are you ashamed Really I'm tryin' to do the right thing I hope my government can say the same
'Cause I won't know the man that kills me And I don't know these men I kill We all wind up on the same side 'Cause ain't none of us doin' God's will Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
