Gone Shootin' Lyrics

(BJ:)
Sent my brother to Iraq
And I said Bobby don't come back
'Til you tell them what they're missing over there
I don't care what liberals say
Freedom, Bobby, that's the way
Show them how we do it over here

And brother have no fear
'Cause the lord is on your side
And if those monsters get too close you've got your cyanide

3 weeks later got a letter
With a rather solemn header

(Bobby:)
Barbara Jean, Iraq ain't what we thought
We bought some lies, we did
We bought some lies, we did
Now I'm stuck here in the middle and I am just a kid
We bought some lies, we did
We bought some lies, we did
Now I'm stuck here and I'm just a kid

(BJ:)
C'mon Bobby, you be brave
I've seen them on the TV waving
From Iraq and it don't look so bad
They would've had a different plan
If this one weren't the best for man
Our president's a Christian, don't you know?

There wouldn't be no war
If it weren't the best thing for
The people of this world now don't you think?

3 weeks later got a letter
With a rather angry header

(Bobby:)
Barbara Jean, that just ain't how it works
Those jerks are fooling you
That's what the ruling do
There are no weapons here and I am black and blue
We bought some lies, we did
We bought some lies, we did
Now I'm stuck here and I'm just a kid

We bought some lies, we did
We bought some lies, we did
Now I'm stuck here in the middle and I am just a kid

(BJ:)
There wouldn't be no war
If it weren't the best thing for
The people of this world now don't you think?
There'd be a different plan
If this one weren't the best for man
Our president's a Christian don't you know?

3 weeks later got a letter
With a rather different header
"Barbara Jean we're sorry for your loss"
