joe fletcher - florence, alabama lyrics

you’re the prettiest bartender
in the last bar in the south
and i thought you were an angel
until you opened your mouth
put a brown bottle before me
for i have a chance to speak
you said you think you had a rough one?
boy, wait til this time next week
rearing down the days of summer
never saw the fall sit in
sometimes i pick up a newspaper
and just put it down again
we were living on that mountain
for another month or more
til they tracked me down on easter
took me straight back to the war
letter after letter after letter i did send
waiting for a mission stuck inside a tin
told you all about my visions
of a wedding by the lake
maybe you never got em
maybe i was too late
but everything the captain told us
turned out to be a lie
somehow i made it this far
but i didn’t even try
sick to death of fighting
for a cause that’s just a sh-ll
bring down the stars and stripes
and raise the 50 dollar bill
and when the war is over
and they drop me off in town
everyone just rolled their eyes
when i asked them to be found
i hear is name is billy
and he runs a loaded dock
talks to you like a puppy
while you’re drinking for half price
then not so many days
before used to be
and everything now gone
adds up to all that’s left of me
should you ever knock on my door baby
i won’t even know
ever since you changed your mind
i’m just not there much anymore
(end)
