No one give a shit about the way I walk
I don't mix my words it's just the way I talk
I got a pistol in my pocket and one black eye
I say forget these motherfuckers, let's go get high
Ooh, maybe I should do right
But I feel like doin' wrong
When I'm gone
I got a pretty little woman gonna make her my wife
Gonna start myself a family, make a brand new life
Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I'm able and I'm strong
When I'm gone
Maybe they'll forgive me
Beg, boy, just come on home
When I'm gone
I got a baby on the way and I can't provide
You can't live on love, you can't live on pride
I come to realize, well it's harder than I thought
When I'm gone
I could feel it closing in on me
I got to be all I can be
In this life there ain't no guarantee
You don't get no shit for free
Well you get it on your own and you bring it home
When I'm gone
So I'll go and join the army, gonna walk that line
A desperate decision for a desperate time
Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I was worth my salt
When I'm gone
Darling, I know you'll miss me
We'll just have to stay strong
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
I don't mix my words it's just the way I talk
I got a pistol in my pocket and one black eye
I say forget these motherfuckers, let's go get high
Ooh, maybe I should do right
But I feel like doin' wrong
When I'm gone
I got a pretty little woman gonna make her my wife
Gonna start myself a family, make a brand new life
Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I'm able and I'm strong
When I'm gone
Maybe they'll forgive me
Beg, boy, just come on home
When I'm gone
I got a baby on the way and I can't provide
You can't live on love, you can't live on pride
I come to realize, well it's harder than I thought
When I'm gone
I could feel it closing in on me
I got to be all I can be
In this life there ain't no guarantee
You don't get no shit for free
Well you get it on your own and you bring it home
When I'm gone
So I'll go and join the army, gonna walk that line
A desperate decision for a desperate time
Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I was worth my salt
When I'm gone
Darling, I know you'll miss me
We'll just have to stay strong
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone

Carissimi, vi segnalo un interessante gruppo statunitense, The White Buffalo, che nel 2013 ha pubblicato l’album “Shadows, Greys & Evil Ways”; si tratta di un concept album che parla di un soldato tornato dalla guerra. Vi invio i testi delle canzoni più esplicitamente legate alla guerra; se volete pubblicare anche le altre, decidete voi.
Ciao, Renato
