Letters Home From The Garden Of Stone Lyrics

Sittin` restless under the moonlight
I know I`m gettin` ready to kill
They say we`re goin` in with the daylight
Ma I don`t want to but I will

`Cause I don`t know the man that kills me
And I don`t know these men I kill
I pray to God for my salvation
Wash away the blood I spilled

I try not to think about my family
`Cause it`s a little too much to take
Out here I got me and I got my buddy
We can`t afford even one mistake

Sorry about writin` on dirty cardboard
It`s the only paper that I could find
Tell everyone I got their letters
Tell everyone I`m doin` fine

Late at night when I can dream, Ma
I think about life back in the world
I miss you and Dad, I miss sister Sarah
I miss my wife and my baby girl

Pray for me, pray for my soul, Ma
Pray for me and all my sins
They say that I got a job to do now
And I`ll be back when it finally ends

Do you think I should be fighting?
Ma are you proud, are you ashamed
Really I`m tryin` to do the right thing
I hope my government can say the same

`Cause I won`t know the man that kills me
And I don`t know these men I kill
We all wind up on the same side
`Cause ain`t none of us doin` God`s will
