Back to the World |
| 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 really think that God could ever 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 |
| Ooh ooh ooh hoo |
| My, my, my, my |
| 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 don’t seem to know what to do, do |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah |
| Back in the world |
