And yes, Steve Earle can write a song.
Yes, he is a radical leftist, but his songs are great.
Home to Houston
When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck
Just like they always did before
With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck
And a Bradley on my back door
And I wound her up and shifted her down
And I offered this prayer to my lord
I said God get me back home to Houston alive
and I wont drive a truck anymore
Early in the mornin and Im rollin fast
Haulin nine thousand gallons of high test gas
Sergeant on the radio hollerin at me
Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G.
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I wont drive a truck anymore
