Smoky bar at the edge of town
I light one up, and I drink it down
Ain’t got a job, ain't got no plan
Just a busted watch and these calloused hands
Folks say I’m just a bitter old fool
But I was young once, played by the rules
Then Uncle Sam came knockin' my door
Sent me off to fight their goddamn war
Whiskey and the war took it all from me
Left my dreams bleeding overseas
I came back home but I never returned
My soul still burns in a Saigon sun
And no one cares, no one sees
I'm just a ghost in faded fatigues
Jenny wrote once, then disappeared
Mama cried dry, then she stopped the tears
The country moved on, shiny and proud
While I sit here drowning out the sound
Whiskey and the war took it all from me
Left my youth buried deep in the sea
They gave me medals I threw away
Can’t pin ‘em on the scars I hide each day
A hero's name, but a beggar’s fate
Too late now, it's all too late
I ain’t askin’ for your pity, kid
Just pass the bottle and let me sit
You can’t rebuild what war erased
And no one’s gonna give me back those days
Whiskey and the war, my only friends
They saw me break and watched me bend
No parade, no flag, no song
Just a man too broke to carry on
If I could go back, I swear I’d run
From the day they handed me that gun
