 <\/p>\n

O<\/span>kay… as promised, here’s a song that recombines verses from yesterday’s Blue Recollection <\/span>with a similarly themed set of lyrics.<\/p>\n

(And there’s yet another song that incorporates some of the lyrics from this<\/span> song — but it won’t likely be in AYoS because of a significant f-word problem — it’s in the title, it’s in the chorus. Mumbling won’t help. But, anyhow, that one’s<\/span> a love song.)<\/p>\n\n

ANOTHER DEAD SOLDIER (IN THE WAR ON ALCOHOL)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woke up this morning
\nwondering about last night
\nkinda think I coulda took some drink
\nbut my memory just don’t serve me right<\/p>\n

Now the last thing I remember
\nYou were walking out the door
\nMy hand reached for the bottle
\nand then there ain’t no more<\/p>\n

Just another dead soldier
\nin the war on alcohol
\nput him with his brothers
\nline ’em up against the wall<\/p>\n

Just another dead soldier
\nin my war on alcohol
\nI won’t be satisfied
\ntil I’ve killed them all<\/p>\n

I lay awake at night, baby
\nbut it ain’t because of you
\nI’m just listening to the plaster crack
\nand the clock tick in the next guy’s room<\/p>\n

You’re just a blue recollection
\nbut that ain’t nothing new
\nI’m gonna drown than memory
\nit’ll be the last thing I do<\/p>\n
