lyrics

I'm wanderin' these streets alone
They don't feel like home
This once hallowed ground
Feels like a ghost town now
I'm on the street corners everyday
At night I drink it away.
This flask that saved my life
Might be the death of me.

Ain't no man in this city
Will take a chance on me
The color of my skin
Is all they see.

I was a hero when I came home
Now no one seems to know
And that medal that I received
It means nothin' to me
I keep readin' my momma's prayers
But I find nothin' there
That makes any sense to me.

Her god
Is no more
Than a thief.

I'm gonna pack up
I'm gonna leave town
On a train car
Headin' north bound
With my lost hope
I'm gonna get out
Carry burdens,
Carry my guilt
I'm gonna leave

I carry burdens
my burdens
Of watchin' the good men fall and brave boys die
Hearin' soldiers sob in the dead of night
Every poor young soul that dies in vain
Every soldier lost in this country's name
My guilt and my shame
No pride and no name
Just burdens
