Erin Hay - Midnight At The Old Soldiers' Home lyrics

rate me

( Lonnie Ratliff & Erin Hay )

He Woke Up In A Cold Sweat Now He Can't Go Back To Sleep

It's That Nightmare From Normandy When They Stormed The Beach

In The Middle Of The Night That Memory's Bright As Day

A Cross That He Still Bears, A Debt That That He Can't Pay

He Was Known As Sergeant Luther Tibbs In June Of 44

And He's Still Haunted By The Ones Who Fell On That Shore

Well For Some The Battle's Over But For Luther It Lives On

In A Rockin' Chair At Midnight At The Old Soldiers' Home

It's Midnight At The Old Soldiers' Home

He's Sitting There In His Rockin' Chair, Rockin' All Alone

And Chances Are He'll Still Be There At Dawn

It's Midnight At The Old Soldiers' Home

Some Ladies Came To Visit From The Southern Baptist Church

One Gave Luther Butterscotch And One Read A Bible Verse

In The Seasons Of His Life Luther's Late Into The Fall

He's Known Love And He's Known Friends And He's Outlived 'Em All
