PINEBOX HERO - Lyrics
Just leaven’ town
thought I’d buy the boys one more round
then i’ll scoop the loop
before the sun goes down
I must go away.

Said “goodbye” to Sue
that a hard thing for a man like me to do
she said “Man, I know what you’re goin’ through”
but she’ll never know.

Induction
Even passed the physical examination
They gave me a stripe and the third degree
Somebody save me.

Don’t wanna be nobody’s pine box hero
When Babe Ruth died, he batted zero

Army. Nave. Air Force. Marines.
Coast Guard. Special Services.
You know what I mean.

Six weeks of pure hell.
Boot camp. Crew cut Sergeants.
AWOL. Stockade… where I was sent
let me tell you about it baby. Yeah.

You go away after the speech I made last Arbor Day
Not paying attention to the contents of the words I’ve spoken.
You made a promise, not on paper but by spoken words
and hey, Mrs. Washington, I really think it’s quite absurd.

You go away after the speech I made last Arbor Day
Not paying attention to the contents of the words I’ve spoken.
You made a promise, not on paper but by spoken words
and hey, Mrs. Washington, I really think it’s quite absurd
you never even heard me when I said to you…

back in 1962, yes I did
you said “tell me that you won’t be leaving…
say you’re gonna stick around…
Cause you really go me believing…
This time you’re gonna settle down”

But who am I kidding
Am I the fool?
I’m not admitting
Who broke the rules… I’m not admitting…

Tell me that you really love me
Say you don’t want no one else.
Say you really cannot get enough of me
Hell, I can’t get enough myself.

But who am I changing?
Are you the same?
Don’t send the woman
back where she came from

Keep us near, oh yeah you better now Susie
I’m not far away although you know that’s a lie.
I’ll be a gentlemen if you’re not a floozy
cause you’re no bitch and I’m not that kind of guy, Am I?

First Vietnam.. now they’ll send the boys to old Tehran
or Afghanistan or Pakistan, what’s the deal?
All the same!

It’s just a young man at war
Hell! No ones even keeping score
I believe this world is rotten to the core.
What a shame! What a shame!

Induction
Even passed the physical examination
They gave me a stripe and the third degree
Somebody save me.

Don’t wanna be nobody’s pine box hero
When Babe Ruth died, he batted zero.
