God Bless the Absentee |
| Lord, i’m a working man |
| And music is my trade |
| I’m traveling with this five-piece band |
| And i play the ace of spades |
| I have a wife and family |
| Who don’t see much of me |
| God bless the absentee |
| Lord, i am a surgeon |
| And music is my knife |
| It cuts away my sorrow |
| And purifies my life |
| But if i could release my heart |
| And veins and arteries |
| I’d say god bless the absentee |
| I miss my woman so |
| I miss my bed |
| I miss those soft places |
| I used to lay my head |
| My son don’t need me yet |
| His bones are soft |
| He flies a silver airplane |
| He wears a golden cross |
| God bless the absentee |
| Lord, this country’s changed so fast |
| The future is the present |
| The present’s in the past |
| Highways are in litigation |
| The airports disagree |
| God bless the absentee |
| God bless the absentee |
