Billy Bragg Farm Boy Lyrics

Farm Boy Lyrics

Whisper under my breath, say a little prayer

Same as I do every time, I step into the sun's bright glare

I am just a farm boy, lived up on the hill

Wanted to get away, now the army pays my bills



And I'm just dreaming of the time that I can go home

I'm just dreaming of the time that I can go home



Here comes a captain, take his anger out on me

Calls down fire upon my country's enemies

Wants me to pick our targets but all that I can see

Is farmers and their families and a whole lot of misery, yeah



'Cos I'm just dreaming of the time when I can go home

I'm just dreaming of the time when I can go home



Say a little prayer now, second one today

Oh, sweet Jesus, won't you take my sins away?



I'm dreaming of the time that I can go home

I'm just dreaming of the time when I can go home

Yeah, I'm dreaming of the time when I can go home

I'm just dreaming of the time that I can go home
