Black Stone Cherry – Long sleeves Lyrics 16 years ago
I beg to differ man read a little bit closer...

I would be willing to say its about war...

Take this verse for example

Pushed through the sand
Word in my hand
Drop of water for my soul
Make daddy proud can't let him down
God i gotta get back home


Looks to me like a soldier thinking of his struggles and his desire to make it back home...and as far as the chorus goes

Don't ask why I've seen children die <---Pointing out needless casualties such as children

Watched men take their lives <---- Suicide rate amongst troops in a war

I've seen women cry <--- Families grieving for their losses

My momma always said to wear long sleeves <--- Word of advice from his mother to never let his guard down


I dont know but thats what this song really says to me....
