Sonny

[Chorus]
You can see him every morning, rocking in his chair
Waiting for the letter that never will be there
You can hear him every evening, talking to the son
He lost in the war nobody won

[Verse 1]
Daddy talked to Sonny again last night
I heard him say, "Come home, son, everything's gonna be alright"
We've tried so hard to tell him, but he doesn't understand
Sonny won't be writing or coming home again
Days turn into weeks, nights turn into years
Daddy keeps on hoping, Mama sheds a tear

[Chorus]
You can see him every morning, rocking in his chair
Waiting for the letter that never will be there
You can hear him every evening, talking to the son
He lost in the war nobody won

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Every single morning, never does he fail
Daddy sits there, rocking, waiting for the mail
With a smile upon his face, he'll softly say
"I bet we get a letter from Sonny today"
We've tried so hard to tell him, but he doesn't understand
Sonny won't be writing or coming home again

[Chorus]
You can see him every morning, rocking in his chair
Waiting for the letter that never will be there
You can hear him every evening, talking to the son
He lost in the war nobody won
He lost in the war nobody won
