letra de far from home - western centuries

[verse 1]
you better call on the chaplain, it’s time
think this young man’s about to say goodbye
youth it fades like the rays of a setting sun
his father was a cold and a strict man
raise up every child with a heavy hand
get it right, young man you’d better get it right
then trouble gave way to conscription
seven thousand miles from where he comes from
saying sir, yes sir, and get in line
[chorus]
i guess he knew by the way that the war had been raging
that there’ll be no call to an about face
so he cries mother, oh mother
won’t you spin a yarn about the way things were
end it with boy, dear boy it’s alright

[verse 2]
hear the night birds all howling
they don’t sing a song like they do back home
and the sky so bright when the world’s on fire
just a young man from la honda
he ain’t got no beef with no vietcong
and this fight ain’t right for a soul to die

[chorus]
i guess he knew by the way that the war had been raging
oh, that there’ll be no call to an about face
so he cries mother, oh mother
won’t you spin a yarn about the way things were
end it with boy, dear boy it’s alright

[verse 3]
when the war you fight at home is so hard
you trade it for the war that you fight abroad
peace of mind in time you may never know
on a hot shot headed east
drinking and smoking just to feed the beast
it is all you can do just to let it go
[chorus]
i guess he knew by the way that the trail had been blazed
that there’ll be no call to an about face
so he cries mother, oh mother
won’t you spin a yarn about the way things were
end it with boy, dear boy it’s all right, it’s alright
boy, dear boy it’s alright
