sam eplin - rifle lyrics

the boys are going over
and shortly i will too
i’m waiting for the note
that says my freedom debt is due
maybe i’m ungrateful
or maybe i’m just scared
or maybe it’s the stories
coming from way over there
it’s time for me to go now
it’s time for me to fight
it’s time for me to learn
what keeps our bravest up at night
mother don’t forget me
mother please don’t cry
please just try to keep me
in your lonesome prayers at night

well i just don’t remember
i don’t really see
all i know is what
my uncle sam had said to me
he said “it’ll be a long one
a long one yes indeed
the rebels in the trees
are using all our souls to feed”
i hear “son it’s time to lay down”
and “son look out below”
the sky is raining fire
i don’t know which way to go
the burning rooms will haunt me
the burning trees will too
and the burning men will muddy
all my memories with you

brother time to wake up
and brother time to leave
and brother keep a lookout
while i try my best to sleep
and brother come and find me
and brother we’re all fine
and brother take a breath
and try to sort your left from right
and brother we must leave him
and brother we must fly
and brother if we don’t go now
we will get left behind
and brother watch the tunnel
and brother watch the trees
and brother i can’t save you
from too many holes you bleed
ma i’m going crazy
ma come get your son
i keep trying to fight
when everybody says i’m done

they say it doesn’t matter
they say i’ve had my fun
they tell me that the only thing
i understand’s a gun
well i guess that maybe true
and i’m just stuck in the past

oh god brother
i can’t save you
you’re bleeding out
way too fast

[refrain]
i guess i’ll get my rifle
i guess i’ll get in line
i guess i’ll wait for god
to let me know when it’s my time

i guess i’ll get my rifle
i guess i’ll get in line
i guess i’ll wait for god
to let me know when it’s my time
i guess i’ll get my rifle
i guess i’ll get in line
i guess i’ll wait for god
to let me know when it’s my time

i guess i’ll get my rifle
i guess i’ll get in line
i guess i’ll wait for god
to let me when it’s my time
