The truce is made and the armistice signed,
but we're still stuck out on the front lines.
The news don't travel fast enough,
and staying in the trenches is getting tough.
There's each a trick of fingers on both sides,
and the other guy's got me dead in his sights.
I'm the last man shot in the war,
laying here dying now I don't know what for.
At least I'm never gonna have to fight no more,
I'm the last man shot in the war.
I should have stayed cool, could have kept my head down.
But I kept thinking about that joint downtown,
and that sweet bartender with the long red hair,
Now I ain't ever gonna go back there.
When you get home raise a glass for me,
and tell her I'll love her for eternity.
I'm the last man shot in the war,
laying here dying now I don't know what for.
At least I'm never gonna have to fight no more,
I'm the last man shot in the war.
And if I cross your mind from time to time,
I hope your thoughts of me are kind.
The war is over, the peace is won,
and life for you has just begun.
Take my tags and send them back home,
to my poor old mother sitting there alone.
Bury me somewhere near the sea,
and let the winter winds wash over me.
One last thing I'll ask of you.
Take this rifle and break it into two.
I'm the last man shot in the war,
laying here dying now I don't know what for.
At least I'm never gonna have to fight no more,
I'm the last man shot in the war.
I'm the last man shot in the war,
laying here dying now I don't know what for.
At least I'm never gonna have to fight no more,
I'm the last man shot in the war.
At least I'm never going to have to fight no more.
