about

for ray milton jones
1932-2010

lyrics

i was in the army, but i never went to war
and you called me a hero, but i've never known what for
and you've worn my ring for half a century
but a decade goes by like a february day
when you know you'll die in the same town where you was raised
and i'm getting closer every time the hand goes round
sometimes i'll go a week without making a sound
it ain't that i don't got nothing to say
it just always gets away from me

sometimes the light still hits your weary face just right
and i'm 19 again and it's 1955
and i come in to land in the palm of your hand
and if there's one thing i've learned from you in all this time
it's a hero's just someone in the right place at the right time
and that's where i was when i found you
and if i had it all over again to do
i'd call you my hero every day
all those times we sat there and i didn't say it
and take you to heaven every night
cause you always deserved to go
