Long sleeves Lyrics
All nght long thunder calls
Can't get away from here
Song birds callin' fire keeps fallin'
Ain't no use in fear
Every night it comes back to me
Everything I see
Don't ask why I've seen children die
Watched men take their lives
I've seeen women cry
My momma always said to wear long sleeves
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
Every night it comes back to me
Everything i've seen
Don't ask why I've seen children die
Watched men take their lives
I've seen women cry
My momma always said to wear long sleeves
Don't ask why I've seen children die
Watched men take their lives
I've seen women cry
My momma, my momma always said to wear long sleeves
Can't get away from here
Song birds callin' fire keeps fallin'
Ain't no use in fear
Every night it comes back to me
Everything I see
Watched men take their lives
I've seeen women cry
My momma always said to wear long sleeves
Word in my hand
Drop of water for my soul
Make daddy proud can't let him down
God i gotta get back home
Everything i've seen
Watched men take their lives
I've seen women cry
My momma always said to wear long sleeves
Watched men take their lives
I've seen women cry
My momma, my momma always said to wear long sleeves

Sounds to me like it's about heroin addiction. Been there, done that
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....
The song was written about a good friend of the band who served in the Army. Specifically the battle for Mogadishu. Midventerblot nailed the meaning 100%.
