Anchor Lyrics

You were my first love and maybe my last

Through this steel hull, I feel the bombs blast

Jim is my bunk-mate who sings me some songs

Was a musician, but something went wrong

I had to go dear, I'm sorry I left

But I am so glad that I got this chance

Said I was nineteen and signed on a line

Many have done it, we're doing our time

You were my first love and maybe my last

Through this steel hull, I feel the bombs blast

Jim is my bunk-mate who sings me some songs

(Jim, you were meant to be someone else)

Was a musician, but something went wrong

All of us soldiers are in for a fight

Often I wonder if it's for what's right

But does it matter, the contract is signed

(We're just some pumped-up boys, tryna play war)

I think my paycheck keeps Mom alive
