Artist/Band: Lou Reed
Lyrics for Song: Home of the brave
Lyrics for Album: Legendary Hearts [1983]



Here's to Johnny with his Jo

and Mickey's got a wife

And here's to Jerry

he has got his Joyce



And me, I'm shaking

in my boots tonight

For the daughters and the sons

lost in the home of the brave



And here's to the home of the brave

And here's to the life that's not saved

Here's to the home of the brave

Here's to the home of the brave



Here's to Frank hit in some bar

in picturesque Brooklyn Heights

And here's to a friend who jumped in front of a train

at seven o'clock one night



And another friend who thinks he lacks worth

has disappeared from sight

Somewhere in the home

of the brave



And here's to the home of the brave

And here's to the life that's not saved

Here's to the home of the brave

Here's to the home of the brave



The stars are hiding in their clouds

the street lights are too bright

A man's kicking a woman

who's clutching his leg tight



And I think suddenly of you

and blink my eyes in fright

And rush off to the home

of the brave



And here's to the home of the brave

Here's to the home of the brave

And here's to the life that is saved

Here's to the home of the brave



And everyday you have to die some

cry some and die some

And everyday you have to die some

cry some and die



In the home of the brave

Home of the brave
