lyrics

In Vietnam he fought a war
Came back, lived with his mama until he died at 54

But everybody always swore
He could have been so much more
But everybody always swore
He could have been so much more
And the water tower’s heart is sore
John Hughes is dead he’s here no more
The water tower’s heart is sore
John Hughes is dead he’s here no more

His Lincoln rolled down union and turned onto main
Going down to the post office everyday just the same

But everybody always swore
He could have been so much more
But everybody always swore
He could have been so much more
And the water tower’s heart is sore
John Hughes is dead he’s here no more

His Lincoln just sits quiet the town is growing cold
John Hughes is dead and we are growing old

But everybody always swore
He could have been so much more
But everybody always swore
He could have been so much more
And the water tower’s heart is sore
John Hughes is dead he’s here no more
The water tower’s heart is sore
John Hughes is dead he’s here no more

In Vietnam he fought a war
