See The Elephant - James McMurtry 

Great song, nice video! I believe 'See the elephant' was a Civil War term referring to having been in combat. That makes sense in one of the last verses: They're looking for a few good men Could be war by summer's end Sure would hate it if I went And never got to see the elephant And never got to see the elephant

Ive seen james a few times. Very underrated, tremendous song writer
