Lyrics

I met a man from Texas
The night before St. Patrick’s Day
On a train to go through England
And I was stunned by the things he had to say
He was taken in by Casper??? on the boys from NBC
He was blaming light??? about the nuns that died
Plain for all to see

Chorus:
Gonna lose this one
Gonna lose this one
Gonna lose this one
Gonna lose this one again

Well they fight both sides of Panama
Takes a shotgun out to mass
They shoot out at the shopping mall
What are you gonna do about that Cas???
Shippin’ out to the company, and the fire zones
Thousand miles to defend the right, we never get at home

Chorus x2

All the seats are empty in the Astrodome
The whole crowd outside marching to bring the young boys back on home
Hank Williams died at 51, Jerry heard him in 44
He lives in hope for the future and knows there could be so much more

You’re gonna lose this one
Gonna lose this one
Gonna lose this one
Gonna lose this one again

You’re gonna lose this one
Gonna lose this one
Gonna lose this one
I hope you’ll lose this one again
