The John Butler Trio
"I'd Do Anything (Soldier's Lament)"

Verse1

You tell me what you want girl,
You tell me what you need
You know you just say the word
I'll be right there, yes I'll be right there at your feet

Because you know you rock girl
And i love how we roll
But i left you all alone, all we got is the phone
And its never going to be enough

Verse 2

Living in this dug-out
A million miles away
Man, id wish they'd paint these walls
like an institution man I'm going crazy

Because when I;m far away from you girl
I lose myself
You know my train jumps off the tracks
and all my pots fall off the shelf

Chorus

Oh, I'd do anything just to be with you
Oh, I'd do anything just to be with you girl, be with you

Verse 3

It's a little girls birthday
And yeah, we are apart
Aint gonna make a big deal out of it
whatever It's no hard

You tell her papa loves her yeah
And It won't be too long
'Til we're all together
and yes we're singing those songs

Verse 4

I escape into my T.V
I know you understand
Man, they call that shit reality
I'd like to see those fools in Afghanistan

Livin' In this cold damn world
Hell bent one self-destruction
What I need right now is a little bit of love
a little bit of love an affection

Chorus

Oh, I'd do anything just to be with you, girl!

Verse 5/ Outro

You tell me what you want girl,
You tell me what you need
You know you just say the word
I'll be right there, yes I'll be right there at your feet
