The Optimist
CHORUS
I live each day like it s my last and I think today will be
But that is just the optimist that lies inside of me
VERSE 1
Daddy he got drafted by the will of Uncle Sam
By the hand of God and the Vietcong he died in Vietnam
Mother couldn t raise three kids but she could raise her hand
Every night my brother s and my sister s hides got tanned
VERSE 2
Daddy s little soldier girl is in Afghanistan
Me I wander round this country wondering who the hell I am
They said my brother was different but I didn t give a damn
He got married in Frisco and got murdered in Alabam
