Make It Through

It might be my lucky night there’s two bags sittin’ by the Goodwill box

Maybe something that I need a warm winter coat or clean socks

Untied a red plastic knot nothin’ but a bunch of ladies shoes

Other sack was baby clothes and superhero underoos

My old Army jacket ‘ill do for one more cold November night

I’ll bivouac in the shadow of the shivering mercury vapor light

Like a prisoner in a camp without a razor wire cage

Prayin’ away the day under a blanket of yesterday’s front page

Yeah I’m gonna make it through

Another night in the red white and blue

Let Lady Liberty’s embrace

Warm my soul and guard my faith

I dream about Mom and Dad and all my brothers who didn’t make it back

Ice cold Miller beer french fries Big Macs and rocket attacks

Eyes snap open sunshine time wake up stretch and smile

Go pick up litter at St. Paul’s and pray with Father Tom awhile

Yeah I’m gonna make it through

Another day in the red white and blue

Let Lady Liberty’s embrace

Warm my soul and guard my faith

Yeah I’m gonna make it through

Another day in the red white and blue

Let Lady Liberty’s embrace

Warm my soul and guard my faith
