LOU REED - Home of the brave lyrics

rate me

Here's to Johnny with his Jo

and Mickey's got a wife

And here's to Jerry

he has got his Joyce

And me, I'm shaking

in my boots tonight

For the daughters and the sons

lost in the home of the brave

And here's to the home of the brave

And here's to the life that's not saved

Here's to the home of the brave

Here's to the home of the brave

Here's to Frank hit in some bar

in picturesque Brooklyn Heights

And here's to a friend who jumped in front of a train

at seven o'clock one night

And another friend who thinks he lacks worth

has disappeared from sight

Somewhere in the home

of the brave

And here's to the home of the brave

And here's to the life that's not saved

Here's to the home of the brave

Here's to the home of the brave

The stars are hiding in their clouds

the street lights are too bright

A man's kicking a woman

who's clutching his leg tight

And I think suddenly of you

and blink my eyes in fright

And rush off to the home

of the brave

And here's to the home of the brave

Here's to the home of the brave

And here's to the life that is saved

Here's to the home of the brave

And everyday you have to die some

cry some and die some

And everyday you have to die some

cry some and die

In the home of the brave

Home of the brave
