(Dedicated to the first GI to Die in the Iraq war)
There's a redwood tree
Along a yellow brick road
That I planted for a buddy of mine
Howard was his name
From Alabama he came
to fight in a war
In bloody war without end
(SPOKEN)
The only son
so loved by his Mom
from a family
in city of Mobile
the first to die to say good-bye
make a family cry
And now there are so many more
Howard was his name
From Alabama He Came
to fight in a war
in a bloody war without end
There a redwood tree
along a yellow brick road
That I planted for a buddy of mine
