Lyrics

"Loaded Gun Optimist"

Send me off to a foreign land with a gun in my hand
My loyalties are to the freedom's for which my father fought and died so brave
My families pride and honor is where a man can put his faith
Send em all to hell and back the American way

Going to war

I got nothing better to do with my life and I only got one place to go
The benefits are nice and it gets me out of this mess at home
I'm not scared to get in the middle and let those bullets fly around
No terrorist is gonna get away attacking us on our hallowed ground

Coming Home
Coming Home

I shot a man before breakfast on what I consider a normal day
I ate my lunch while I clenched my buddies hand and watched the doctors take him away
I spent a night alone in the desert with my thoughts to keep me awake
I'm a loaded gun optimist fighting for freedom the American way

Going to War

All I see is bleeding in the streets and innocent people dieing in pain
I'm still looking for this freedom, the more I fight the more the purpose gray's
I got a plate in my head and a stub for a leg
I'm a loaded Gun Optimist fighting for freedom the American Way

Coming Home
Coming Home
