Walter Reed Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Skippy921 

Cover art for Walter Reed lyrics by Michael Penn

Walter Reed was an army doctor during the civil war, he had an army hopsital named after him, and was buried in Arlington.

The song to me means that this guy is tired of fighting a war he cant win and he is wounded and he just doesnt want to fight any more. ANd he just wants to go to the hospital for wounded soldiers.
