I had a girl, way down west

From The D Archives

Dedicated to all those poor bastards who got Dear John letters during that hellish winter of 08' during I/08's tour of duty. I sure saw alot of guys like you there. Myself included.

I had a girl, way out west

But I thought my army life was best

Now she's someone else's wife!

And I'll be running for the rest of my life!

I had a girl in New Orleans

Fourteen children and a can of beans!

Now she's someone else's wife!

And I'll be running for the rest of my life!

Married a girl from a Mississippi town!

Army living got her down!

Said it's either me or the door!

And now I don't go to Mississippi no more!
