I am the man that looks for water
And I am thirsty in my soul
This land is dry just like a desert
Beneath the stars I start to crawl
I am the man that looks for water
And I am thirsty in my soul
Bolts of lightning in the distance
My foots asleep here and I stall
Battle lines, drawn there in the dirt
No one wins, and everyone gets hurt
Up ahead, drive the highway, pay the toll
For a flag up on a pole
The night is dark in 'round the campfire
Still singing songs about the war
Jennie sharpens up her dagger
The Seargent says what we're fighting for
I am the man that looks for water
And I am thirsty in my soul
The message comes, pack up and roll now
A solider lost out on patrol
Battle lines, drawn there in the dirt
No one wins, and everyone gets hurt
Up ahead, drive the highway, pay the toll
For a flag up on a pole
I am the man that looks for water
And I am thirsty in my soul
And with your picture in my pocket
With luck I'll soon be coming home
Up ahead, drive the highway, pay the toll
For a flag up on a pole
Battle lines, drawn there in the dirt
No one wins, and everyone gets hurt
Up ahead, drive the highway, pay the toll
For a flag up on a pole
