He was sad old lonely man, we used to mock him happily He'd wear his brown hat back to front, it used to fall off often We didn't know what he had done, he went to fight in 45 He drove a jeep and polished shoes and mostly led a simple life Run to stop the animals in someone else's clothes Having all their fun. My ride with you It was the last day of the war, he went to fetch some expensive wine And on the way back to the base, he put his brave old face back on But by the time he reached the fence, the incident had taken place He stood and watched the fumes rise high and take his brothers souls away Run to stop the animals in someone else's clothes Having all their fun. I watched you crawl around the haunted room In someone else's shoes from someone else's view, My ride with you
