Home of the Free

3 o’clock this the mornin’
Phone is ringin’ next door.
3 o’clock this the mornin’
Phone is ringin’ next door.
Someone better answer it,
Someone is callin’ on the Lord.

Whole house is wailin’
They got the blues for sure. (repeat)
Death lift his finger,
Poor mama cryin’ to the Lord.

Chorus:
This ain’t the home of the free.
This ain’t the land of the brave.
This ain’t the home of the free.
Poor kids sent off to war,
Rich kids get daddy to pay.

Take a shot of whiskey,
Drown out that awful noise. (repeat)
Heaven’s gate is open,
Another mama’s lost two boys.

War ain’t good for nothin’
‘Cept for fillin’ up a grave. (repeat)
Mama’s losing babies,
Too young to be brave.

Repeat Chorus.
