Now I'm just a farmer from Arkansas,
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Like why we send farmers to kill farmers
In Afghanistan
Now I did what I's told for my love of this land
I come home a shattered man
With blood on my hands
And now I can't have a relationship, I can't hold down a job
Some may say I'm broken, I call it soldier's heart
Because every time I go outside, I gotta look her in the eyes
Knowin' that she broke my heart, and turned around and lied
Oh I said, red, white, and blue,
I trusted in you
And you never even told me why
Now it was the summer of 2002,
I just got off the Pakistan border
To get out of the heat
And my sergeant handed me some orders
And told me to read
Well it called for the mobilization of 500, 000
Soldiers, sailors, and Marines
For impending invasion of Iraq
The coming spring
Well I got home a couple months later
And I heard the drums, I heard the drums of war
And they had y'all dancin' all around
And askin' for more
Well this soldier's heart couldn't take
I said this soldier's heart couldn't take it anymore
Now I can't have a relationship, I can't hold down a job
Well some may say I'm broken, I call it soldier's heart
Because every time I go outside, I gotta look her in the eyes
Knowin' that she broke my heart, and turned around and lied
I said, red, white, and blue, I trusted in you
And you never even told me why
I said, every time I go outside I gotta look her in the eyes
Knowin' that she broke my heart and turned around and lied
Oh I said, red, white, and blue, I trusted in you
And you never even told me why
