Lyrics

Sit upon that levee girl and watch for my return, I?ll be back in a few days.
And if I don?t return, since I?m sure that you ain?s got no other love....
You just mourn for me always, flood the farm and burn the house and just move on.

I?ll fight all your wars for you, I?ll bring back your riches with my gun.
Kill the ones that don?t look like me they say, and kill anything that runs.
Cause we all drive big cars in the U.S.A., and they all run on blood.

And they don?t want anyone to hear me, so they silence my gun.
The only way you?d ever look for me is if I?d run.

So I get back from the war, my house is gone and all my land is gone.
And my baby, she run off on me, but she left me a note.
Said, I don?t love you anymore, and your check ain?t never come.
It said stay away from me.
You?re a killer, can?t you see?
But I won?t cry because....
I?ll hold back my feelings with my gun.

And they don?t want anyone to hear me, so they silence my gun.
The only way you?d ever look for me is if I?d run.

To say I dwell in silence is a pain I can?t afford.
And the only way you?d ever look for me is if I?d run.
