I met my enemy today
Baby takes the little one out to play
Enemy shot two of my buddies down
Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round
[Verse 2]
By my post, I'm standing guard
Baby hopes for roses in the front yard
I don't know my enemy's name
Baby takes the little one to a baseball game
Harmonica solo
[Verse 3]
I am in this God forsaken place
While baby wipes the dirt from the little one's face
Ten years old in the killing fields
Baby's planning the weekly meals
[Verse 4]
Bodies in a body ditch
Baby's got supper to fix
My brother's got a hole in his head
Baby gets the little one ready for bed
Harmonica solo
[Verse 5]
Today I shot my enemy
Baby gives the little one a hug for me
Both my buddy's legs got blown off
Baby tends to the little one's cough
[Verse 6]
I stare down in the barrel of a gun
Baby's going out to have some fun
And I hear ringing in my ear
My baby's face is all wet with tears
Harmonica solo
[Verse 7]
I can't look my enemy in the eye
Baby tells the little one daddy's gone bye-bye
Today I took a bullet in the heart
Now Baby's gonna have to make a brand new start
Harmonica solo
[Verse 8]
I met my enemy today
Baby sends the little one out to play
Enemy shot and took my body down
Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round
[Verse 1] I met my enemy today Baby takes the little one out to play Enemy shot two of my buddies down Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round [Verse 2] By my post, I'm standing guard Baby hopes for roses in the front yard I don't know my enemy's name Baby takes the little one to a baseball game Harmonica solo [Verse 3] I am in this God forsaken place While baby wipes the dirt from the little one's face Ten years old in the killing fields Baby's planning the weekly meals [Verse 4] Bodies in a body ditch Baby's got supper to fix My brother's got a hole in his head Baby gets the little one ready for bed Harmonica solo [Verse 5] Today I shot my enemy Baby gives the little one a hug for me Both my buddy's legs got blown off Baby tends to the little one's cough [Verse 6] I stare down in the barrel of a gun Baby's going out to have some fun And I hear ringing in my ear My baby's face is all wet with tears Harmonica solo [Verse 7] I can't look my enemy in the eye Baby tells the little one daddy's gone bye-bye Today I took a bullet in the heart Now Baby's gonna have to make a brand new start Harmonica solo [Verse 8] I met my enemy today Baby sends the little one out to play Enemy shot and took my body down Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round Explain Request ×
