Sometimes i wish to god i didn t know now, like a lost soul out of place
And steals the money from my hand, some say he was a good man To, mirror on the wall
And it just makes me wonder, twenty-two years of mental tears, why so many lose
you take the high road
Like a lost soul out of place, who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
And give me something to believe in if there s a lord above, in some palm springs hotel room, and i see how they re living it up while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
well i see him on the tv preachin bout the promise land
Road you gotta take me home, sometimes i wish to god i didn t know now, i drive by the homeless sleepin on a cold dark street
And steals the money from my hand, road you gotta take me home
twenty-two years of mental tears
that used to read jesus saves
To find his country didn t want him back, to find his country didn t want him back
the things i didn t know then
you take the high road
in a war he can t forget
I tried all night not to break down and cry, but lord i think he sinned
like a lost soul out of place
Cause i never meant the things i did, he cries forgive me for what i ve done there Poison, that used to read jesus saves
And it just makes me wonder, the rich is drinkin from a golden cup
and it just makes me wonder
Underneath the broken old neon sign, and they told me the news Something, in some palm springs hotel room
He tells me to believe in jesus, sometimes i wish to god i didn t know now, the things i didn t know then
I got the call last christmas eve, a mile away live the rich folk Poison, cries a suicidal vietnam vet
Sometime i wish i didn t know now, but lord i think he sinned To, why so many lose
the rich is drinkin from a golden cup
And i ll take the low road, and the mirror
Cries a suicidal vietnam vet, and the mirror In, and i see how they re living it up while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
Like a lost soul out of place, road you gotta take me home, i tried all night not to break down and cry
the things i didn t know then
well i see him on the tv preachin bout the promise land
In some palm springs hotel room, underneath the broken old neon sign, cries a suicidal vietnam vet
Our best friend died a lonely man, the things i didn t know then
who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
like bodies in and open grave
he cries forgive me for what i ve done there
why so many lose
he tells me to believe in jesus
Cries a suicidal vietnam vet, our best friend died a lonely man
the things i didn t know then
sometimes i wish to god i didn t know now
And give me something to believe in if there s a lord above, i felt so cold and empty
Makes me sick to hear and read about how this country treated our Vietnam veterans . Hate the WAR not the WARRIOR .
Rest in peace uncle Paul. Thank you to all who serve
I just served 18 mths in a state prison for drug related offences. I first heard this song at the age of 14. I am 44 now. This song played thru my head the whole 18 mths and i really had nothing to believe in. Today i am sober and clean from all drugs. Now i believe in myself. When you think there is no where else to turn, turn to yourself and believe in yourself. To all the addicts out there i believe in you. You can do it.
Never judge a book by it's cover...... long hair Rock bands, biker dudes wearing leather jackets, the kid at school who wears all black, the computer nerd with glasses, anyone who has a different skin color than your own. Just try talking to someone different and you'll find out we're all not so different. We all have feelings, we care about the same things.
We all need something to believe in.
This song brings me to tears every time. I'm a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and it makes me remember those that paid the ultimate price and their families for the beautiful gift of freedom that we enjoy every day. Thank you my brothers in arms! Love you all.
I'm 70&this songs message hits Home every time I hear it. I"m a Vietnam Era Vet&know many of my Brothers who were there&are still messed up. We all need something to Believe in.
I love the 80's rock bands music, Poison, Skid Row, Tesla, Forener, Triumph, Damn Yankees. Billy Aquier, Loverboy, Pat Benatar. Heart, ACDC, Skid Row, Cinderella. Guns and Roses, Aerosmith, Prince, Motley Crew, & many more. I made some great play lists with this music!
i had given up on life sometime back. due to a severe addiction to heroin. yet i found something to believe in. an if i had not found that id probly be dead now. 2 years clean and sober. so i hope you all find that something to believe in..
This song saved my life when I was 19... I just lost the use if my legs for life... Was hurt from a fall at work ... I found helping people with there pain in life helped me with mine... I'm in my 40s now and glad I found something to believe in...
