sam stone - evan dando lyrics

[verse 1]
sam stone came home to the wife and family
after serving in the conflict overseas
and the time that he served had shattered all his nerves
and left a little shrapnel in his knee
but the morphine eased the pain
and the grass grew ’round his brain
and gave him all the confidence he lacked
with a purple heart and a monkey on his back

[chorus]
there’s a hole in daddy’s arm where all the money goes
jesus christ died for nothin’, i suppose
little pitchers have big ears, don’t stop to count the years
sweet songs never last too long on broken radios, mm, mm, mm, mm

[verse 2]
sam stone’s welcome home didn’t last too long
went to work when he spent his last dime
and sam had took to stealin’ when he got that empty feelin’
for a hundred*dollar habit without overtime
and the gold rolled through his veins
like a thousand railroad trains
and eased his mind in the hours that he chose
while the kids ran ’round wearin’ other people’s clothes
[chorus]
there’s a hole in daddy’s arm where all the money goes
jesus christ died for nothin’, i suppose
little pitchers have big ears, don’t stop to count the years
sweet songs never last too long on broken radios, mm, mm, mm, mm

[verse 3]
sam stone was alone when he popped his last balloon
climbin’ walls while sittin’ in a chair
and they played his last request while the room smelled just like death
with an overdose hoverin’ in the air
oh, but life had lost its fun
now there’s nothin’ to be done
but trade his home that he bought on the g.i. bill
for a flag*draped casket on a local heroes’ hill
