lyrics

NOTHING BUT A THING
Adam Martin / Jay Clementi

This 4 wheel drive ain’t quite like the one back home
Desert camo, full of ammo, it ain’t got no chrome
No Johnny Cash on the radio
Yeah out here, it ain’t cold beer in the console, it’s a
box full of grenades, Oakley shades, and a convoy on the roll
This far down range anything goes

It’s bullets and tracers, mortars from the sky
Searching through the ashes, can’t feel enough to cry
It’s your worst nightmare but a warrior’s dream
Suck it up soldier, ain’t nothing but a thing

Coffee in my lip, fingertips close to a gun
Home in my chair, I’m still there but I don’t tell no one
I close my eyes when the day is done – and it’s

Bullets and tracers, mortars from the sky
Searching through the ashes, can’t feel enough to cry
It’s your worst nightmare but a warrior’s dream
Suck it up soldier, ain’t nothing but a thing

Let the numb sink in, kill the pain again
Cover up your conscience with justified sin

It’s bullets and tracers, mortars from the sky
Searching through the ashes, can’t feel enough to cry
It’s your worst nightmare but a warrior’s dream
Suck it up soldier, ain’t nothing but a thing
Suck it up soldier, ain’t nothing but a thing
