Commas and Tears

[Verse]
One tour of duty taught me a lot
The consequences of being caught
The terror of being shot

[Chorus]
Looking back, it all seems clear
Captains bribed us with brothels and beers
Now I write commas and tears

[Verse]
It started out with nightmares and screams 
Everything was ripped out at the seams
Is my life just how it seems?

[Chorus]
I still wake up with nothing but fear
Even though I am greeted with cheers
Still I write commas and tears.

[Verse]
I came home one day and she was gone
What could I have possibly done wrong
I thought all my guns we’re drawn

[Final Chorus]
Never would I have thought in these years
That it would be me rigging the gears
Just to write commas and tears

Slow, heavy, male vocal, reflective, sad, country rock
