mike ness – ballad of a lonely man lyrics
i’m young and i’m strong
i’ve got this god forsaken world by the b-lls!
i’ve got a one-way ticket to freedom
ain’t got no one now gonna take it from me
i was a soldier, age twenty-one
in a war i’m not sure what i was fighting for
and yet i turned from a boy to a man there
goodbye to innocence and a sweet sixteen
chorus:
my whole life i could not arrange
my wicked ways i could never change
don’t try, don’t try now to understand
for this is the ballad of a lonely man
close to me is a photograph
of a family left far, far behind
at once i had love it slipped away from
i searched a lifetime but could not find
in a hospital bed, i’m violently ill
just one more drink nurse i swear to god!
i’ve got my st. anthony and my whiskey
yes i’m a veteran of three foreign wars!
repeat chorus
