Lyrics
The Chaplain (comes home)
Jamey Darnold
Verse 1
HIS NAME WAS CHAPLAIN G WILSON
SERVED IN THE VIETNAM WAR
HE SAW MANY MEN DIE
SUFFERING OF, SO MANY MORE
SOLDIERS GOING TO THEIR BATTLES
AND EVERY ONE, HE WOULD SAY
YOUR MY SON'S AND DAUGHTERS
ILL BE HERE WITH YOU ALL OF THE WAY
Chorus
GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS AND GO
MOST PRAYERS CAME DOWN UNANSWERED
WENT DOWN IN SHAMELESS VAIN
NOTHING COMES FROM WAR,,,
ONLY HOMELESS, FEAR, AND PAIN
BUT HE PICKED HIMSELF ON UP
CHAPLAIN BOUGHT A SEMI TRUCK
A CROSS ON THE CAB HE SCRAWLED
TO THE LONELY SOULS WHO HAUL
Chorus
GIVE ME LONELY AND TIRED
GIVE ME BURNOUT,AND WIRED
GIVE ME THE HURT, STAYS WITH YOU
TRY THE BEST ANY MAN CAN DO
MOST COMPANIES WILL USE YOU UP
BURN YOU OUT, GET RID OF YOU
THEY DON'T KNOW YOUR ALIVE
ONLY A TRUCK NUMBER YOU DRIVE
NOW HIS TRUCK IS HERE TO PRAY
RIGHT NEAR THE MUD FLAP CAFÉ
RIGHT HERE INTO THE TRAILER
REPENT YOUR SINS AND GO AWAY
Chorus
GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS AND GO
