Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.

Makes her body older than it really is.
 D                           Bm 
She says it's high time she went away,
               G          D    
No one's got much to say in this town.

Down, down.

I'm watching you breathing for the last time.

A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,

I know what it means and I'll carry you home.

And another day God will give her some.

Down, down.

        G             D                                A
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,

Under the Stars and Stripes.
