BOILED PEANUTS

Always think of you

and tellin' you
Bro,

'bout boiled peanuts here in the South.

I Remembered you
again
today.

The clouds were tears in my eyes.

The war seemed grey
and so long ago.

I remember your eyes
and trying to carry you.

I had to leave you when you died.

You went home alone
and I cried.

Seems these boiled peanuts are Viet Nam.

The Beer is just the way that I go home.
