MARCY PLAYGROUND LYRICS - Jesse Went To War

"Jesse Went To War"



Jesse when you went to war

And never did return

Summer came and all the girls were

Sitting on the lawn

Looked down at all those letters

And I knew that you were gone

But I came back

I came back



Brothers inseparable

Two rabble rousing boys

Dreaming all the new mischief

And making all the noise

When Bobby bought that Chevy man

Well I knew that we were poised

But I came back

I came back



And tonight when darkness comes

I dream of how we were once

And tonight when I sleep

An angel hums



Jesse when you went to war

And never did return

Summer came and all the girls were

Sitting on the lawn

Looked down at all those medals

And I knew that you were gone

But I came back

I came back

I came back
