Lyrics
Midnight At The Old Soldiers' Home He Woke Up In A Cold Sweat Now He Can't Go Back To Sleep It's That Nightmare From Normandy When They Stormed The Beach In The Middle Of The Night That Memory's Bright As Day A Cross That He Still Bears, A Debt That That He Can't Pay He Was Known As Sergeant Luther Tibbs In June Of 44 And He's Still Haunted By The Ones Who Fell On That Shore Well For Some The Battle's Over But For Luther It Lives On In A Rockin' Chair At Midnight At The Old Soldiers' Home It's Midnight At The Old Soldiers' Home He's Sitting There In His Rockin' Chair, Rockin' All Alone And Chances Are He'll Still Be There At Dawn It's Midnight At The Old Soldiers' Home Some Ladies Came To Visit From The Southern Baptist Church One Gave Luther Butterscotch And One Read A Bible Verse In The Seasons Of His Life Luther's Late Into The Fall He's Known Love And He's Known Friends And He's Outlived 'Em All Lonnie Ratliff & Erin Hay Copr. 2005 Okie Acres Music (BMI)
