Lyrics
One Life To Live
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I live through the time
When the young men went to war
They say you’ll fight for your country
I learned that that was just a lie
Got me one life to live
I ain’t supposed to die
Well, they sent me to korea
With a rifle in my hand
We thought about our families
Will we ever see them after dead
Got me one life to live
And it ain’t supposed to end
I got lucky, they sent me home
But some good friends never left the zone
Fight for your country
You’ll know that’s just another lie
I got me one life to live
I ain’t supposed to die
I got me one life to live
I ain’t supposed to die
I got me one life to live
I ain’t supposed to die
