Lyrics:
Somewhere between midnight and a frightened century dawn
I awoke from a fragile sleep, all my hopes an’ dreams were gone
Everything I once had in life ‘cept these few clothes on my back
Lost somewhere between Saigon and a Skid Row mission tract
They call me Joe American and I come from Dixie Land
Played a little football and worked hard with my hands
Down here on 5th an’ Julian the future don’t look so bright
Lord knows, sure could use a little down home comfort tonight
A rebel son reborn on the wrong side of yesterday
Decorated soldier abandoned on Living Hell Street LA
Voices won’t let me rest and between memories recast
Lie fragments of my Virginia home buried in a distant past
They call me Joe American and I fought in the war
Lost both legs an’ my best friend, never questioned the reasons for
But down here on 5th an’ Julian the future don’t look so bright
Lord knows, sure could use a little down home comfort tonight
So take this letter on up to D.C. from a relative of Robert E. Lee
The family tree’s alive in Dixie; ain’t gonna let you turn your backs on me
Yeah, the call me Joe American and I come from Dixie Land
And I wrote this simple note, try’n to help ya’ll understand
You know, after the war they treated Lee and other veterans right
Lord knows, sure could use a little down home comfort tonight
Lord knows, sure could use a little down home comfort tonight
