Verse 1
Mother, I tried to do right by
you
To do what you asked me to
I did wrong and I knew.
Mother I tried to behave for you
Now I’m a digging a grave for
you
It was all I could do.
Find a way back home, Make
everything new
But I wish it was true.
Verse 2
Father, well I’ll give my soul
to you
I came in blind folded for you
It was all that I knew.
Open your arms and I’ll fly out
of hell up to you
I wish it was true.
Bridge
Boy come on out from the cold
You're lost outside there don’t
you know
It’s not what you say it what's
you do
Just keep wishing your wishes
are true
Well your dreams they're reality
now
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 3
Country, I was a soldier for you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew.
Country, now I’m just a stranger
to you
A number a name it’s true
Throw me away when you’re
through.
Home of the brave and free the,
the red white and blue
Well I wish it was true.
