He smeared green war paint across his face Until it would look to his foes like he had smeared green moss all over himself But as he stood there stock-still with his M-16 barrel pointed ahead, His enemies would not know that though he was young handsome, and nice, that back in Arkansas he didn't have many friends – because although he was friendly, he wasn't very outgoing. They would never know that he liked to wear cowboy boots liked to line dance And taught his younger brother to play baseball. All they knew is that he had a black barrel beneath the water-dripping trees. |

The color made me think of moss and war paint.
