Save His Soul Lyrics - Save His Soul - Blues Traveler

Hot lights across his face 

They told him he was just a disgrace 

Stripped down like a frightened child 

A shadow stood before him 

He thought he saw a smile 

Guilty of nothing more than fear 

It was the dogs of war that sent him here 

Caught across enemy lines 

Shot in the back 

Now he's running out of time 

They all said they loved him 

Where were they all now? 

Thinking about his hometown 

Back in New York City 

A slap across his face 

Brings him back to this painful place 

He would not talk, God save his soul 

They took him out and beat him 

His mind felt cold 

A change takes place 

It makes you feel numb 

Realizing you're just a man 

Can make your soul want to run 

Standing in the firing line 

The smoke fills his lungs one last time 

And with his last breath he cries out 

"Dear God what have I done?" 

A shot rings out
