lyrics

You can really learn a lot from killing a man
By the time that you are sober
I did it for my country but they’ll never understand
And now the life that I have known as good as over
I’m just a simple guy
Living a simple lie

The future tried to taunt me I just turned a blind eye
When I bought my first Land Rover
Now the headlights are no longer shining and the wells have all run dry
And the life that I have known's as good as over
I’m just a simple guy
Living a simple lie

You were always my hero
And before the war was finally lost
You bought me toys you fed me and you clothed me
You never told me what it cost
Mama didn’t raise me to be this kind of man
Can just see her eyes when I go back to her again

I will always love you both, and I know you know
And your amber waves of clover
I’ll only leave my footprints and take pictures when I go
And remember life ain’t over ‘til it’s over
I’m just a simple guy
I am a simple guy
