Charlie Songtext
von Under the Gallows

"Can you see the man who walks our street?"
He gave something up for you and me
Life that was lost wasn′t just an enemy's
Hung his hat on what we took for free

The land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
Charlie, don′t look but the docs took your foot
It's gone, the banks know, they want your VA loan


"He's hobbled can′t we go help him he′s old?"
No son, there's no one who can tell him no
Now I realize that sometimes Mr. Baker, he seems cold
Just know that what he gave us can′t be made or grown

But the land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
"Charlie, don't sweat, it′s just the tango
It gets easier, you'll break the leg... move slow "

I can′t say what he gave
But he deserves more than this

The land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
The tangos and Charlie's "minor deformity"
He lost, the war is won, don't tread on him, he′ll stand on one
