Lyrics
A song by Bruce Miller and Matthew Degen
Big Jet Plane,
Hanoi train.
Take me back to the place you were slain
Found the place, built a fire
Curse the soul of the American Empire
And it was bloody.
I remember the glean in your eye
Sunny gonna meet an American Pie
for your life, I would give mine.
Its been so hard just to walk down that straight line.
But I keep on walkin.
Wasted life,
a bullet from a gun
I know someday,
together we'll run.
Two spirits burn in this tragic flame,
Father and Son, they were always the same.
Two spirits burn in this tragic flam.
Father and Son, they were always the same.
Father and Son, they were always the same.
Father and Son, they were always the same.
Father and Son, they were always the same.
