turnpike troubadours - southeastern son lyrics
well i guess i was born with a gun in my hand
we’d walk the big clearcuts in the pine timberland
well the army man told me that i could defend the free
aw and draw me a paycheck, get a tech school degree
i said hey now sergeant, that sure does sound fine
well the sawmill ain’t hiring, tell me where do i sign
chorus:
won’t you light a lantern for me
i’ll be gone but not for long
won’t you keep a candle burnin’
won’t you leave a porch light on
well my hands are still steady and they still hold a gun
and this suit of a soldier for your southestern son
well tell mom not to worry if she’s taking it hard
never thought i’d see action back when i joined the guard
well all this will be over more later than soon
as i wote in a letter beneath the big afghan moon
chorus x2
