The Defector

Roy Orbison

It's the Bonnie and Clyde days 
Where the girls wear curls and lace 
And the boys can't stand the pace of war 

It's not the war but the cause the country's fighting for 
The seed of discontent is sown 
They're burning card back home, back home 

The old folks just can't ignore 
The posters with ink anymore 
I'm not sure what to think 

Now I wonder why I'm on this foreign shore 
To find peace of mind 
For now I walk alone 
Amd it's no better to leave than stay 
And give more than I had to give 

My life was not my own the wife I've never known 
I may never know I may never go back home 
To the land of the free, back home 
To the land of the free back home 
Would there be a place for me back home back home? 

Well I always wonder why 
Will they take me when I die back home
