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
|
|
Cuz 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
|
|

|
You don't know me [repeated]

|
I just came back from a war
