The Robert Cray Band - Twenty lyrics

rate me

When you're used up, where do you go Soldier Mother dry your eyes, there's no need to cry I'm not a boy, it's what I signed up for When you're used up, where do you go Soldier I can't take the heat, and I hardly sleep anymore What'd we come here for Standing out here in the desert Trying to protect an oil line I'd really like to do my job but This ain't the country that I had in mind They call this a war on terror I see a lot of civilians dying Mothers, sons, fathers and daughters Not to mention some friends of mine Some friends of mine Was supposed to leave last week Promises they don't keep anymore Got to fight the rich man's war When you're used up, where do you go Soldier Late in 2004 Comes a knock at the door It's no surprise Mother dry your eyes Mother don't you cry, no, no Someone told you a lie Yes they did, why Mother don't you cry, oh no Mother don't you cry When you're used up, where do you go Soldier
