Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mother, I tried to do right by you
To do what you asked me to
I did wrong and I knew
[Verse 2]
Mother, I tried to behave for you
Now I'm a digging a grave for you
It was all I could do
[Verse 3]
Find a way back home
Make everything new
I wish it was true
[Verse 4]
Father, well, I gave my soul to you
I cam in blindfolded for you
It was all that I knew
[Verse 5]
Open your arms and I'll fly outta Hell up to you
I wish it was true
[Verse 6]
Boy, come on out from the cold
You're lost outside there, don't you know?
It's not what you say, it's what you do
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
[Verse 7]
Well, your dreams, they're reality
There's no pain, there's no misery
Just polish the blood and the bruise
For there's just no way you can lose
Well, I wish it was true
[Verse 8]
Country, I was a soldier to you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew
[Verse 9]
Country, now I'm just a stranger to you
A number, a name, it's true
Throw me away when you're through
[Verse 10]
Home of the brave and the free
The red, white and blue
Well I wish it was true
