Anyone know this song...?
Set me up straight in my chair, comb my hair
For tonight I'll see an old friend
And I wonder if she has been thinkin' of me now and then.
So save all your small talk for some other lady
Just give her your love and your pride
And lay down beside her and give her what's left of your hide.
...there's more of course, but i can't remember much more. I believe it was the closing song from a movie I saw many, many years ago.

the movie was The Executioner
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Yes, I do believe that's what it was called...I can't remember who starred in it...I can see his face, but no name. Again, Yahoo isn't being much help.

Theme for an American Hero
Set me up straight in my chair... comb my hair
'cause tonight I'll see an old friend
And I wonder if she has been thinkin' of me... now and then
She's a candle that burns... for the sailor's return
She's a fortress that's safe from the storm
She is brave and she's free... and she's waiting... to keep me warm
Save all your small talk for some other lady
Just give her your love and your pride
And lay down beside her and give her what's left of your hide
Set me up straight in my chair... comb my hair
'Cause tonight I'll see an old friend
She was with me across the sea... south of the Bay of Japan
Set me up straight in my chair... comb my hair
'cause tonight I'll see an old friend
And I wonder if she has bee thinkin' of me... now and then
