Got another letter,
Another friend off to something better,
Shot through both legs, shot through the head, does it really matter,
They are all dead,

Got another letter, Another friend off to somewhere better,
too much drinking and too many desert memories,
took a shot to the head,
just to find his peace,

Got a purple heart,
because mine is missing,
just a shell of man,
that she's been kissing,

Got another letter,
Another friend, going somewhere better,
so much for ,
not leaving, a man behind.
