Kmag Yoyo by Hayes Carll
Kmag Yoyo lyrics
Ah, Daddy joined the air force, said it was a good source
danger, love and money but it only led to divorce
ended up in Abilene, working at a Dairy Queen
put me in the Army on the day that I turned seventeen
here I am standing in the desert with a gun
thought of going AWOL but I�m too afraid to run
got myself a new plan, stealing from the Taliban
make a little money turning poppies into heroin
sergeant didn�t like it so they put me in a hole
said it�s easy shooting when they don�t know when to go
threw me on a lily pad sent me home to NORAD.
I knew I�d be in trouble but I didn�t think I didn�t think it�d be this bad
A stranger wearing all black met me on the tarmac
told him I was sorry but I ain�t ever going back.
he said you ain�t in trouble son learn to fire without a gun
got a new assignment a workin� for the Pentagon
gonna take a chip wouldn�t tell me what it�s for
gotta serve your country gonna help us win the war
MIT, Ph�ds night and day they tested me
ain�t what I was thinking but I�m being all I can be
I ain�t no genius but I knew it wasn�t right
eatin uppers in the morning LSD at night
sent me off to deep space help �em with the arms race
ola, me oh my this shit has got a funny taste
I think I hear the countdown
hundred feet above the ground
told me when I�m leaving but a nothing about a coming down.
sitting on a bad dream
1000 pounds of gasoline.
ain�t leaving nothing but some rubble in my slip stream.
Momma always said I should be aiming for the moon
never would have guessed it I�ll be passing by soon.
how the hell�d I get here blasting thru the atmosphere
drop the rocket boosters and I�m shifting into high gear.
Bowie on the system and a bottle on my knee
Armstrong ain�t got nothing on me.
Ay O here we go
KMAG YOYO someone want a git me
gotta come up where the sun don�t go
I think I see a bright light something about it ain�t right.
lay down in a space ship woke up in a fire fight.
tripping from the morphine
came down in a bad scene
God don�t let me die here. I ain�t even nineteen.
I won�t ever ask you Lord for anything again
swear it on the Bible Torah Koran
dying in a Rhino track
trying to have a heart attack
IED got to me
someone call the medivac
I need some fixin after where it is I�ve been
never gonna go and try to shoot a gun again.
slipping out the back door
gonna join the Peace Corp.
tell me I�m a hero now
someone else can fight this war.
