Joining The Army Lyrics - That Much Further West - Lucero

Told you I was joining the army, had no excuse 

Seemed the right thing to do 

And you called me a fool 

Said I'd come back mean and cruel 

I said I just wanted to make my grandfather proud 

Even though he's not around 

Been gone since, I was thirteen 

I'm still worried what he'd think about me 

Playing this guitar just ain't gonna cut it, for long 

I mean singing these songs don't compare to what he did over there 

Need to prove I can carry my share 

Take on my own load and bear 

To me it all seems fair.
