Country Gentleman - Ambulance LTD

Written by：Chester Atkins/Boudleaux Bryant

Has on the end for the limit

It's subscription on the policy payroll

I hate the word the thought of

It is just enough to make me go awol

I'm just too young to belong to anyone

And I'm too old to be taken

So when you sign up remember what they said

About the one you're displacing

Wake up and come down slow

I'll see you when your eyes come open soon

The answer ain't long they may sign on

But all they really wanted is to be home

Now they pull me over and ask me

Things about you I can barely remember

I guess he lost his mind let it wander

To the ocean then it never recovered

They were my girls my friends my future plans

I don't see how this could happen

So when you drive home my loneliness

Is gonna be the distance behind you

Wake up and come down slow

I'll see you when your eyes come open soon

The answer ain't long they may sign on

But all they really wanted is to be home

When they can and relief is gonna feel

Just like the pictures up on the wall

I don't believe it even comes close but that's the way it falls
