Video clip

I'm young and i'm strong
I've got this god forsaken world by the balls!
I've got a one-way ticket to freedom
Ain't got no one now gonna take it from me

I was a soldier, age twenty-one
In a war i'm not sure what i was fighting for
And yet i turned from a boy to a man there
Goodbye to innocence and a sweet sixteen

My whole life i could not arrange
My wicked ways i could never change
Don't try, don't try now to understand
For this is the ballad of a lonely man

Close to me is a photograph
Of a family left far, far behind
At once i had love it slipped away from
I searched a lifetime but could not find

In a hospital bed, i'm violently ill
Just one more drink nurse i swear to god!
I've got my st. anthony and my whiskey
Yes i'm a veteran of three foreign wars!

My whole life i could not arrange
My wicked ways i could never change
Don't try, don't try now to understand
For this is the ballad of a lonely man
