    THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

    I left my heart , by the side of the road,
    As i watched you cry, out in the cold.
    No harm I meant to anyone, especially you,
    But a voice was calling, something I had to do.

    I oft times think, of our last night alone,
    And wish I'd hear your voice, over the phone.
    But miles of desert surround me, I can't make a call.
    Wish I could kiss you, as this bullet makes me fall.

    I didn't mean to kill him, I think he is dead,
    I fear it my fate also, my heart bleeds hot lead.
    I know he has a family, i wish it were not so,
    For the man I just shot, was scared, I know!

    He fired back in self defense, not wishing this to be,
    I shot a man and took his life,  he shot back and killed me.
    No harm I meant to anyone, especially you,
    No harm did he mean either, but bullets flew.

    We wre both just pawns, in a larger game,
    Thinking we were right, finding it was shame.
    I now see this man in a new light, a brother yes it's true,
    No harm we meant to anyone, especiall you!
