I was born in a little town at the edge of Illinois Two good folks who fed me well and raised a proper boy A simple life with simple needs just an acre farm and calf to feed But little did I know what was next Took my life away from a ripe young age I know I know the burden song Never had to bills to pay Never reached the marriage I know I know the burden song Friends from near and far shared my last night on the town Had a couple of drinks only smiles all around Reflecting on the better days times when life was just a game But hours passed and eventually it was time to say goodnight Boarded the one way plane A ticket to a foreign place I know I know the burden song No more comfy shirt Just clothes to be worn in dirt I know I know the burden song Well I was brought to be a child who was brought to be a man Not brought to be a soldier fighting wars as far as Japan And a child that's brought from lovin' knows only how to love So when the man's told to do a killin', love is all he's thinking of I would write home twice a day Thinking that I might be saved But help was never on the way If I had the will to breathe I would get down on my knees and beg To live in peace A random number drawn And in about a month you're gone I know I know the burden song What about those who ach What's the prize for the price they pay I know I Know the burden song I fall down screaming I know that this is the ending Face to face with someone I don't even know A life lead to misery A dried root on the chicory Is all I have for it to show I never met Mary Jane I never kissed in the pouring rain I know I know the burden song I never had a job to do I never saw such a gorgeous view I know I know the burden song Well I was brought to be a child who was brought to be a man Not brought to be a soldier fighting wars as far as Japan And a child that's brought from lovin' knows only how to love So when the man's told to do a killin', love is all he's thinking of Well I was brought to be a child who was brought to be a man Not brought to be a soldier fighting wars as far as Japan And a child that's brought from lovin' knows only how to love So when the man's told to do a killin', love is all he's thinking of
