He Takes My Place

Red, white and blue I hear you call
That stuff don’t bother me at all
You fold your dollar bills
I’ll fix a drink and pop some pills
Red, white and blue I hear you call
Where have you gone my dear?
Awake and you’re no longer here
I hear an old man sigh
«She don’t care if you live or die.»
Where have you gone my dear?
Don’t you lie to me
I can see your face
I can hear you moan, moan, moan
Every time he works your body
Every time he takes my place
Is he a better man than me?
Will he set your poor heart free?
You throw your red dress on
Slip away in the frozen dawn
Is he a better man than me?
Don’t you lie to me
I can see your face
I can hear you moan, moan, moan
Every time he works your body
Every time he takes my place
Red, white and blue I hear you call
That stuff don’t bother me at all
Your smile can’t kill the pain
And I won’t come this way again
Red, white and blue I hear you call
