Letters Home From The Garden Of Stone Lyrics

Sittin' restless under the moonlight

I know I'm gettin' ready to kill

They say we're goin' in with the daylight

Ma I don't want to but I will



'Cause I don't know the man that kills me

And I don't know these men I kill

I pray to God for my salvation

Wash away the blood I spilled



I try not to think about my family

'Cause it's a little too much to take

Out here I got me and I got my buddy

We can't afford even one mistake



Sorry about writin' on dirty cardboard

It's the only paper that I could find

Tell everyone I got their letters

Tell everyone I'm doin' fine



Late at night when I can dream, Ma

I think about life back in the world

I miss you and Dad, I miss sister Sarah

I miss my wife and my baby girl



Pray for me, pray for my soul, Ma

Pray for me and all my sins

They say that I got a job to do now

And I'll be back when it finally ends



Do you think I should be fighting?

Ma are you proud, are you ashamed

Really I'm tryin' to do the right thing

I hope my government can say the same



'Cause I won't know the man that kills me

And I don't know these men I kill

We all wind up on the same side

'Cause ain't none of us doin' God's will
