The Catcher In The Rye
Drew James © 2013

Father, Oh father
The soldiers lie in wait
Sharpened hooks
Are buried in their bait
You kept trying
To drop them one by one
But reinforcements
Have you on the run

One for the road
Make it two for the pain
Three for the memories
And four for the blame
There's no way
You can say goodbye
Goodbye to the Catcher in the Rye

Father, Oh father
You say war is hell
That winners are losers
With stories they can't tell
There's a badge of
Courage in your head
Every night it
Bleeds a deeper red

One for the road
Make it two for the pain
Three for the memories
And four for the blame
There's no way
You can say goodbye
Goodbye to the Catcher in the Rye

Father, Oh father
Drink that whiskey in
It will never
Wash away your sins
You say you need it
To face the enemy
And when you look in the mirror
That is who you see

One for the road
Make it two for the pain
Three for the memories
And four for the blame
There's no way
You can say goodbye
Goodbye to the Catcher in the Rye
Goodbye to the Catcher in the Rye
