lirik lagu crooked smile – the heavy horses
[verse 1]
in the little town where i grew up
my childhood came and went
was a dark*haired girl with a crooked smile
with whom my days were often spent
and i never gave much thanks to luck
when we’d count the stars at night
but after 14 years, the war broke out
and they shipped me off to fight
i felt a taste of honor
until it finally hit me why
i’m too poor to dodge and to young to vote
but i ain’t too young to die
that night, i wept in darkness
alone and on my knees
clenched my hands as hard as they could squeeze
[verse 2]
i’d never even kissed that girl
and i’d never fired a gun
and i always thought you couldn’t be a man until the age of 21
seems the only thing i knew for sure
is that they wouldn’t take what’s mine
so i set my sights on anything that stepped across the line
and the first time that i k!lled i man
i felt it in my chest
and many nights i saw his face
until it blurred in with the rest
i felt no trace of honor
when it finally came with ease
instead i knelt down in the mud and begged him please
[chorus]
take me home to see my mother
take me home, away from here
don’t let me die so young and broken
and surrounded by the smell of death and fear
[verse 3]
i lost count along the way
of the ones i put in graves
but everyone took a little more from a heart i couldn’t save
and all the things i did out there
were the furthest thing from law
so i screamed myself awake most nights
and relived the things i saw
and if i could have just one last prayer
then the last thing that i’d see
would be the dark*haired girl with a crooked smile
as she waved goodbye to me
but i never had much luck with prayers
i did even worse with pleas
so i’d be god d*mned if i die here on my knees
[chorus]
i’m going home to see my mother
i’m going home, away from here
i ain’t gonna die alone and broken
or forsaken under skies full of despair
