Back to the World

歌詞

Back in the world Back in the world Back in the world Back in the world Crawlin' through the trees Stuck in mud up to the knees Fightin' this damn war Wonderin' if the Lord knows what it's for Six long years stretch And we boys was in a hell of a mess I gotta keep my mind; take it slow Fightin' hard for what I don't know I wanna get back home, gotta get back home Back to the world I had a talk with little mom Strenuous face as she began to hum She said: Boy, it's good to see ya My prayers must've been with ya And now that you're back and done Let me tell ya son The war was never won The war was never won In these city streets everywhere You gotta be careful where you move your feet; how you part your hair Do you think that God could never forgive this life we live? Back in the world Back in the world Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh My, my, my, my It's so hard, it's so hard, it's so hard This life is so hard I've been beaten up and robbed Soldier boy ain't got no job Back in the world Had a long stretch of sacrifice Gettin' back home will be awful nice Child your woman has long been gone The doggone war just lasted too long People don't give a damn People don't give a damn People don't give a damn So I'm standin' here in future shock It can give the mind an awful knock Talkin' 'bout hard times, hard times, hard times Back in the world Oh-oh-oh My, my, my, my, my, my It's so hard, it's so hard This life is so hard I been beaten up and robbed Soldier boy ain't got no job Back in the world Back in the world Uh huh, back in the world Back in the world Uh huh, uh huh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh My, my, my, my It's so hard, it's so hard, it's so hard This life is so hard Back in the world Ooh ooh ooh hoo Ooh ooh ooh hoo Back in the world Back in the world Forgiveness instead of amnesty Simple words that seem so clear to me Forgive our country, Forgive your man, wastin' love for hate Truth from honesty is true We'd don't seem to know what to do, do Yeah, yeah, yeah Back in the world
