Been home about six months now |
| [00:10.06] |
But I still have my doubts |
| [00:14.15] |
Well I'm not sure how I got here |
| [00:17.73] |
Or how I'm gonna get out |
| [00:20.82] |
My mama says I look the same |
| [00:23.98] |
As I did before I left |
| [00:27.33] |
But if she could see inside of me |
| [00:31.20] |
It would scare her to death |
| [00:34.56] |
I can still taste the powder |
| [00:37.74] |
From the barrel of my gun |
| [00:41.15] |
I can hear my sergeant screaming |
| [00:44.83] |
|
| [00:48.10] |
I can feel the backpack on my shoulders |
| [00:52.39] |
God it weighed a ton |
| [00:55.43] |
And I see death in every single thought |
| [01:02.49] |
They taught me how to put that uniform on |
| [01:07.29] |
I just can't get it off |
| [01:16.57] |
Last Saturday they honored us |
| [01:20.22] |
In a small parade downtown |
| [01:23.37] |
And when they shot off those fireworks |
| [01:26.84] |
I nearly hit the ground |
| [01:30.30] |
And while they smiled and cheered for us |
| [01:33.96] |
All I could do was stare |
| [01:37.25] |
Cause part of me is here at home |
| [01:40.93] |
And part of me is back there |
| [01:44.22] |
I can still taste the powder |
| [01:47.46] |
From the barrel of my gun |
| [01:50.85] |
I can hear my sergeant screaming |
| [01:54.75] |
|
| [01:57.98] |
I can feel the backpack on my shoulders |
| [02:01.72] |
God it weighed a ton |
| [02:04.96] |
And I see death in every single thought |
| [02:12.20] |
They taught me how to put that uniform on |
| [02:17.30] |
I just can't get it off |
| [02:22.34] |
Yeah there's no end in sight |
| [02:25.98] |
Cause even though I'm home now |
| [02:28.90] |
I'm still fighting for my life |
| [02:36.33] |
I can still taste the powder |
| [02:39.82] |
From the barrel of my gun |
| [02:43.36] |
I can hear my sergeant screaming |
| [02:47.10] |
"Run, soldier, run" |
| [02:50.27] |
I can feel the backpack on my shoulders |
| [02:53.93] |
God it weighed a ton |
| [02:57.39] |
And I see death in every single thought |
| [03:04.21] |
They taught me how to put that uniform on |
| [03:09.43] |
I just can't get it off |
| [03:18.03] |
Well the devil's won some battles |
| [03:21.42] |
And he may win some more |
| [03:24.07] |
But don't he know the American soldier |
| [03:29.10] |
Will always win the war |
