When I left my
home and my family My mother said to
me "Son, it's not how many Germans
you kill that counts. It's how many people
you set free."
So I packed my bags brushed my cap Walked
out into the world Seventeen years old
never kissed a girl
Took the train to Voronezh That was
as far as it would go Changed my sacks
for a uniform Bit my lip against the
snow
I prayed for mother Russia in the
summer of '43 And as we drove the Germans
back I really believed that God was
listening to me
Then we howled into Berlin Tore the
smoking buildings down Raised the red
flag high Burnt the Reichstag brown
I saw my first American And he looked
a lot like me He had the same kinda farmer's
face Said he'd come from some place
called Hazzard, Tennessee
Then the war was over My discharge
papers came Me and twenty hundred others went
to Stettiner for the train
Kiev! said the commissar from there
your own way home But I never got to
Kiev We never came by home
Train went north to the Taiga We were
stripped and marched in file Up the great
Siberian road for miles and miles and
miles and miles
Dressed in stripes and tatters in
a gulag left to die All because Comrade
Stalin was scared that we'd become
too westernized
Used to love my country Used to be
so young Used to believe that life was the
best song ever sung
I would have died for my country
in 1945 But now only one thing remains The
brute will to survive
