Good Christian Soldier — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

Not so long ago in Oklahoma the son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray
He said Lord I wanna be a Christian soldier just like you
And fight to build a new and better day
Now many years and miles from Oklahoma
That same young Okie boy still kneels to pray
But he don`t pray to be no Christian soldier anymore
He just prays to make it through another day
Cause it`s hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we`re playin` cards writin` home havin` lots of fun
Telling jokes and learning how to die

Now the things I`ve come to know seem so confusin`
It`s gettin` hard to tell what`s wrong from right
I can`t seperate the winners from the losers anymore
And I`m thinking of just giving up the fight
Cause it`s hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we`re playin` cards writin` home ain`t we hadn`t fun
Turning on and learning how to die
