John Prine - Take The Star Out Of The Window

John Prine

Take The Star Out Of The Window

Robert was a sailor

For the best years of his life

His captain was his mother

And the ocean was his wife

Only fresh out of the cradle

Life's one and only spring

He was sworn to do his duty

And got blood on his high school ring

And it's hello California

Hello, dad and mom

Ship ahoy, your baby boy

Is home from Vietnam

Don't you ask me any questions

'Bout the medals on my chest

Take the star out of the window

And let my conscience take a rest

Now he sailed across the ocean

To the old far eastern war

And it was foreign to his body

It was foreign to his shore

So he traded in the present

For the better times he'd seen

And made an oriental waitress

His own home comin' queen

And it's hello California

Hello, dad and mom

Ship ahoy, your baby boy

Is home from Vietnam

Don't you ask me any questions

'Bout the medals on my chest

Take the star out of the window

And let my conscience take a rest

Mirror lyrics:

And let my conscience take a rest

Take the star out of the window

'Bout the medals on my chest

Don't you ask me any questions

Is home from Vietnam

Ship ahoy, your baby boy

Hello, dad and mom

And it's hello California

His own home comin' queen

And made an oriental waitress

For the better times he'd seen

So he traded in the present

It was foreign to his shore

And it was foreign to his body

To the old far eastern war

Now he sailed across the ocean

And let my conscience take a rest

Take the star out of the window

'Bout the medals on my chest

Don't you ask me any questions

Is home from Vietnam

Ship ahoy, your baby boy

Hello, dad and mom

And it's hello California

And got blood on his high school ring

He was sworn to do his duty

Life's one and only spring

Only fresh out of the cradle

And the ocean was his wife

His captain was his mother

For the best years of his life

Robert was a sailor
