He left on a big ship, to serve his country
To distant lands he sailed, lands far beyond his simple beginnings
on a farm i suppose, or maybe an alley way in a big city
either one is applicable in this case
He wises he never left home, far from Haim's famous Rueben sammichs
or grandpaws moonshine, depending on his origins

BAM! gunshots
BAM! gutshot!

he bleeds his life blood on the sand
in his young spleen a bullet jammed
he did get a pretty good tan
but it was definitly not worth it, Uncle Sam!

Young Jonathan wishes he never left home
He left on a big ship, to serve his country
To distant lands he sailed, lands far beyond his simple beginnings
on a farm i suppose, or maybe an alley way in a big city
either one is applicable in this case
He wises he never left home, far from Haim's famous Rueben sammichs
or grandpaws moonshine, depending on his origins

BAM! gunshots
BAM! gutshot!

he bleeds his life blood on the sand
in his young spleen a bullet jammed
he did get a pretty good tan
but it was definitly not worth it, Uncle Sam!
