C G
Sam Stone came home
Am F
To his wife and family
C G
After serving in the conflict
Am F
Overseas, and the time that he served
C G
Was a long time
Am F
But the pain was real, and Sam Stone
G
Tried to heal
C G
But the drugs that he took
Am F
Made him feel like he was free
C G
But the price of that freedom
Am F
Was a heavy price to pay for him
C G
And he lost his way
Am F
But he just wanted to find a way to stay
C G
Sam Stone came home
Am F
To a world he didn't know
C G
And the only thing he wanted
Am F
Was to find a place to go
C G
But the shadows followed him
Am F
And the pain was never far away
C G
Sam Stone came home
Am F
But he left a part of him to stay
Sam Stone
