I Just Came Back (From a War) — Darryl Worley
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 the same little freckle-faced 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 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.
