The Robert Cray Band - Sonny lyrics

Sonny was my best friend

He got called to Vietnam

Sonny was my best friend

He went away to Vietnam

Said, "Watch out for my wife and baby"

"And I'll count on you when I'm gone."

I looked in every day

Just like Sonny said

Ohhh, and I'm not sure just when

We both lost our heads

And I'd hang around at night

And fill her lonely, lonely bed

(Painful guitar solo)

Sonny made it home

And he's proud of what he's done

Ohhh, but he can't walk too good, no

And he'll never see the sun

And his pain is just beginning

I'm so ashamed of what I've done

Sonny's pain is just beginning

I'm so ashamed of what I've done
