farm boy

Singer: billy bragg

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

mmm yeah

'cause 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
