Sadr City

Verse 1-
My brother went off to fight the war
And I walked down to the liquor store
He got a one way ticket to Iraq
I bought a carton of smokes and two six packs

Chorus-
I’m not going to Sadr City
I’m not going to Sadr City
Took my brother and that’s a pity
Now momma cries and daddy drinks whiskey
I’m not going to Sadr City

Verse 2-
Now we don’t talk about over there
We just fight the fight and say our prayers
Hey Uncle Sam look at what we got
A folded up flag in a shadow box

Chorus-
I’m not going to Sadr City
I’m not going to Sadr City
Took my brother and that’s a pity
Now momma cries and daddy drinks whiskey
I’m not going to Sadr City

But I would go for you
Where’s my gun, where’s my boots
Yeah, I’d go for you

Bridge-
Politicians always pointing them fingers
Looking for somebody to blame
What about my baby brother
Do you even know his name

Chorus-
I’m not going to Sadr City
I’m not going to Sadr City
Took my brother and that’s a pity
Now momma cries and daddy drinks whiskey
I’m not going to Sadr City
