Andres Raya
Andres was a Iraq vet who ran into his own PTSD in a little community near Modesto, CA. The cops wouldn't let his relatives put flowers at the scene so I put them in the song. RIP.
he was raised in an orchard in a California town where the military ticket is the best deal around they'll give you a skill and a pat on the back and maybe even a parade if you make it back
his mother was proud of him and she cried when she said goodbye his father was proud of him too, there was a tear in his eye his friends from the camp, they all gathered 'round somebody finally made it out of this town
some people have all the chances and some people have none lay down your burden where the river runs reason and morality, you can put them aside flowers for Andres Raya, in the alley where he died
leaving on that day when the world went strange comin' back home and something had changed everybody said there was a stranger in his eyes there were nightmares and dreams and a rage that had to rise
he cried to his mother with those tears all down his face saying, 'you have no idea what went on in that place there's something broken, something lost beyond repair and I'd rather die before I go back there'
some people have all the chances and some people have none lay down your burden where the river runs reason and morality you can put them aside flowers for Andres Raya, in the alley where he died

look across the field see the enemy closin' in it's the local police but it didn't look that way to him take a good position let the firefight begin 200 rounds later, 2 dead, him and one of them
some people have all the chances and some people have none lay down your burden where the river runs reason and morality you can put them aside flowers for Andres Raya, in the alley where he died
he did his last tour of duty in the town that he grew up in fighting a war that nobody could win like a marionette on slippery wire he was killed in the alley by enemy fire
some people only want answers that are easy to take nothing so hard that the bubble might break there are questions to ask and there are answers to decide and there are flowers in the alley where Andres Raya died
some people have all the chance and some people have none lay down your burden where the river runs reason and morality you can put them aside flowers for Andres Raya, in the alley where he died
