| [00:06.47] | 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 |
