Sam Stone is a song written by John Prine about a drug-addicted veteran with a Purple Heart, and his death by overdose.
It is known for the line "There's a hole in daddy's arm, where all the money goes"
The song can be interpreted as a reference to the phenomenon of morphine addiction among war veterans as a result of its use to treat crippling and painful injuries, and its often lifetime repercussions.
It was said that his inspiration for this song was that of a long time friend of his, named Sam Stone who was an avid lover of marine life, and politics. - en.wikipedia
