Home Ain't Never Home

im wanderin these streets alone they dont feel like home this once hallowed ground feels like a ghost town now im on the street corners everyday at night i drink it away. and this flask that saved my life might be the death of me. and 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 noone seems to know and that medal that i recieved means nothin to me i keep readin my mommas prayers i find nothin in there that makes any sense to me. her god is no more than a theif. gonna pack up gonna leave town on a train car headed north bound im gonna leave im gonna leave. with my lost hope im gonna get out carry burdens, carry my guilt im gonna leave carry burdens burdens my burdens i watched the good men fall and brave boys die hearin soldiers sob in the dead of night every poor young soul that dies in vein every soldier lost in this countrys name i carry guilt and my shame no pride and no name just burdens
