Stray Bullets Lyrics

[Chorus]
Whoa aye, I sail away
Whoa aye, slide on down
Whoa aye, what is lost you gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down

[Verse 1]
Me and Danny Lord and Steve
Were fuckin' drunk on New Year's Eve
Singin,' drinkin,' playin' guitars layin' 'round
We pulled the shotgun out the shed and
Fired it towards the heavens
Stray bullets rainin' on down

[Chorus]
Whoa aye, I sail away
Whoa aye, slide on down
Whoa aye, what is lost you gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down

[Verse 2]
Back of an Ace uncovered truck
The captain laughed and said, "Good luck"
As we rolled on through our first Iraqi town
From the rooftop, we got blasted
Danny Lord's spine came unfastened
Stray bullets rainin' on down

[Chorus]
Whoa aye, I sail away
Whoa aye, slide on down
Whoa aye, what is lost you gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down

[Verse 2]
Fifteen months lost in Iraq
We got stop-lossed, they sent us back
Why the fuck we're even here, I'll never know
Me and Steve, we went out walkin'
A few of us have started talkin'
And now we've got a mission of our own

[Chorus]
Whoa aye, I sail away
Whoa aye, slide on down
Whoa aye, what is lost you gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down

[Verse 3]
'Cause now we're comin' for the captain
To reap the seeds he's sewn
Everybody hit the deck
'Cause his tent's about to blow

Tell the general when we find him
That he'll be the next to go
Yeah, we're coming for the captain
And then we're going home

[Chorus]
Whoa aye, I sail away
Whoa aye, slide on down
Whoa aye, what is lost you gave away
Stray bullets rainin' on down, down, down
Stray bullets rainin' on down
