Testo Sam Stone - Al Kooper

Testo della canzone Sam Stone (Al Kooper), tratta dall'album Al's Big Deal

Sam Stone came home to his wife and family

After serving in the conflict overseas

Now in the time that he had served, it had shattered all his nerves

And it left a little shrapnel in his knee, oh

But the morphine eased the pain, and the grass grew around his brain

And it gave him all the confidence he lacked

Oh, with a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back, oh

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose

Now little pitchers have big ears

But don't you stop to count the years

Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

Sam Stone's welcome home didn't last too long

No, he went to work after he spent his last dime

And then Sammy took to stealing when he'd get that empty feeling

For a hundred dollar habit without overtime

Oh, and the cold rolled through his

Veins like a thousand railroad trains

And it eased his mind in the hours that it showed

While his kids ran around wearing other people's clothes, yeah

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose

Now little pitchers have big ears

But don't you stop to count the years

Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

Sam Stone was alone when he broke his last balloon

Climbing walls while he sat there in a chair

And he played his last request while the room stunk just like death

With an overdose just hovering in the air

Oh, but life had lost all its fun and now there's nothing to be done

But to trade in his home that he bought on the G.I. Bill

For what? A black draped casket on some local hero's hill, yeah

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose

Little pitchers have big ears

But don't you stop to count the years

Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

Sam Stone, oh, Sam Stone
