I Just Came Back From a War

歌詞

The first thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hangout Drank some beer and talked a lot about old times But when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes He said I don't know what it is, but you seem different to me I said I just came back from a place where they hated me and everything I stand for A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore If I'm not exactly the same good old boy that you ran around with before I just came back from a war The very next morning I took a walk through the neighborhood I thought it's been so long since I've been in a place where everything is good People laughing and children were playing And as I watched em I found myself praying Lord keep em safe here at home in the land of the free 'cause I just came back from a place where they hated me And everything I stand for A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore If I'm not same little freckled face boy That grew up in that house next door I just came back from a war I hope you cherish this sweet way of life And I hope you know that it comes with a price I just came back from a place where they hated me And everything I stand for A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore Chances are I never will be the same I really don't know anymore I just came back from a war I just came back from a war [background] You dont know me (repeated) I just came back from a war
