lyrics

For fifteen years I sold my wares to the world
I ran the local five and dime
Every week I'd make
Just enough to take my wife
For a bite and a bottle of wine

But they shut me down
Everyone in town was surprised
Now I'm on the street
And I'm begging for a reason why

A reason why, oh why
Begging for a reason why

Why?

I fought two years
For a country dear to my heat
In a desert far away
When I came back home
I intended to roam around
My beautiful US of A

But they locked it down
Was the freedom we fought for a lie?
Why was I overseas?
I'm begging for a reason why

A reason why, oh why
Begging for a reason why

Why?
