The Fighting Line |
It had to be me of all the ones to choose |
The way my luck is going, I always seem to lose |
They’re sending me to the fighting line |
I hope the Army don’t leave me dead in my grave |
Hey give me a pen, I’ll do the paperwork |
I’m the typewriter king, I’d make a damn good clerk |
Don’t put me on the fighting line |
Cause I won’t give you my life just to throw away |
They’ve given me furlough till they take me away |
But there’s not enough time when you want to stay |
Soon it’s off to the fighting line |
And I’ll be waiting and writing home every day |
It’s a little too long to live on borrowed time |
While they’re having their peace talks, they’re killing friends of mine |
I’ll be running from the fighting line |
If it’s gonna mean I’ll be walking out of here alive |
