[00:00.00]Good Christian Soldier - Billy Joe Shaver
[00:05.29]Not so long ago in Oklahoma
[00:10.11]
[00:13.47]The son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray
[00:18.52]
[00:21.18]He said Lord
[00:22.66]I wanna to be a Christian soldier just for you
[00:28.61]
[00:30.02]And fight to build a new
[00:33.00]And better day
[00:34.83]
[00:38.27]Now many years
[00:40.78]And miles from Oklahoma
[00:44.18]
[00:46.75]That same young Okie boy
[00:50.05]Still kneels to pray
[00:52.11]
[00:55.18]But he don't pray to be
[00:58.41]No Christian soldier anymore
[01:02.56]
[01:03.34]He just prays to make it
[01:06.05]Through another day
[01:08.64]
[01:11.04]Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier
[01:16.68]When you tote a gun
[01:19.03]
[01:19.80]And it hurts to have to
[01:23.05]Watch a grown man cry
[01:25.48]
[01:28.27]But we're playin' cards
[01:30.80]
[01:31.89]Writin' home havin' lots of fun
[01:35.49]
[01:38.08]Telling jokes and learning how to die
[01:41.90]
[01:47.41]The Now things I've come to know
[01:49.36]
[01:49.88]Seem so confusin'
[01:50.53]
[01:55.79]It's gettin' hard to tell
[01:57.07]
[01:57.72]What's wrong from right
[01:59.08]
[02:02.04]I can't seperate the winners
[02:05.39]
[02:05.93]From the losers anymore
[02:09.52]
[02:10.89]So thinking about just giving up the fight
[02:15.81]
[02:17.95]Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier
[02:23.55]When you tote a gun
[02:26.08]
[02:26.73]And it hurts to have to
[02:29.98]Watch the children cry
[02:32.34]
[02:35.02]But we're playin' cards
[02:37.53]
[02:38.68]Writin' home ain't we hadn't fun
[02:43.12]
[02:44.93]Turning on and learning how to die
