I hold the cold steel of my rifle
|
as I dream of foreign lands
|
And I promise myself
|
I will cherish every moment I can
|
But there's ghosts that follow me around
|
Everywhere I am
|
When I say goodbye
|
I try to be strong
|
Now I'm going back to the U.S.
|
where I belong
|
|
I ain't never alone
|
The war seems to follow me home
|
No longer an active soldier
|
When I walk down the street
|
I'm shaking hands
|
with everyone that I meet
|
And I watch everyone
|
wondering what they see
|
|
Civilian ways are now
|
what's foreign to me
|
I came off a long tour
|
I left this place in two o three
|
May we never forget the sacrifices
|
My friends made for me
|
|
I live in Marysville
|
out on the county line
|
And my Brother and my Mother
|
both visit me all the time
|
And visions of you
|
are always running right through my mind
|
We always talk about
|
what we're gonna do
|
when the war is won
|
We're gonna fix up them old cars
|
and ride them into the sun
|
When I heard you're no longer with us
|
Man I was done
|
|
Civilian ways are now
|
what's foreign to me
|
I came off a long tour
|
I left this place in two o three
|
|
May we never forget the sacrifices
|
My friends made for me
|
