Old Forgotten Soldier

Reaching for a butterfly Old soldiers never die And the gun against their shoulder Well, it gets a little older And just like that old shoulder It just gets put away Well, I'm an old, forgotten soldier Since they put an end to war And I like to tell my story But you don't wanna hear about the war I'm an old, forgotten campaign hero Left without a cause Because they took away my wars I'm an old, forgotten railroad A broken, empty ammo-train And my rusty ammunition Has been left out in the rain I'm an old, forgotten part-time doughboy I tried to save the world The world was round We fired around Heard all around the world I'm an old, forgotten campaign hero Left without a cause Because, they took away my wars I'm an old, forgotten railroad A broken, lonely ammo-train And my rusty ammunition Has been left out in the rain
