Lyrics:

I'm Young And I'm Strong
i've Got This God Forsaken World By The Balls!
i've Got A One-Way Ticket To Freedom
ain't No One Gonna Take It From Me

i Was A Soldier, Age Twenty-One
in A War I'm Not Sure What I Was Fighting For
and Yet I Turned From A Boy To Man There
goodbye To Innocence And A Sweet Sixteen

chorus
my Whole Life I Could Not Arrange
my Wicked Ways I Could Never Change
dont' Try, Don't Try Now To Understand
for This Is The Ballad Of A Lonely Man

close To Me Is A Photograph
of A Family Left Far, Far Behind
at Once I Had Love It That Slipped Away From
i Searched A Lifetime But Could Not Find

in A Hospital Bed, I'm Violently Ill
just One More Drink Nurse I Swear To God!
i've Got My St. Anthony And My Whiskey
yes I'm A Veteran Of Three Foreign Wars!

(Repeat Chorus)
