[Verse 1]
Oh brother, I'm tired, my courage gone away
My gun it won't fire, and my legs can't bear this weight
I want to run far, so far from this place
Where the grass grows tall, I can hide beneath the blades

[Chorus]
Put me out to pasture
I don't want to live on this battlefield no more
Put me out to pasture
I don't want to live on this battlefield

[Verse 2]
Oh brother, I tried, I can't see it anymore
Now I forget why, oh, who am I fighting for?
I want to lie down, my memory erased
Upon the soft ground, I can feel it's warm embrace

[Chorus]
Put me out to pasture
I don't want to live on this battlefield no more
Put me out to pasture
I don't want to live on this battlefield

[Bridge]
Remember sun upon your face
When the silent wind pushed 'cross the plains
How long must I wait?
[Chorus]
Put me out to pasture
I don't want to live on this battlefield no more
Put me out to pasture
I don't want to live on this battlefield

[Outro]
Put me out to pasture
Put me out to pasture
Put me out to pasture
Put me out to pasture

[Instrumental]
