Back From Korea |
| Getting a boat back from out of Korea |
| I was impatient to go |
| When you have lived in a tent for so long |
| Fighting the heat and the snow |
| Getting so tired of saluting the man |
| Can’t have a mind of your own |
| Crossing the days off a calendar sheet |
| It doesn’t seem real I’m going home |
| Packing my kitbag to throw on a truck |
| Never returning no more |
| Out in the ocean the ship is a toy |
| Stomach is throwing back food |
| Hang on the ropes when you’re going on deck |
| Nothing about it seems good |
| Then you get to dreaming of where you are going |
| The storm will be over fore long |
| Check the horizon to see if it’s changed |
| Somewhere out there is my home |
| Give me the papers, where do I sign? |
| Three years of army is through |
| Serving your country they tell you is fine |
| Give you a gun and go kill |
| But when you come back for civilian work |
| Sorry your job has been filled |
| They’re speaking of the glory of the uniform |
| Smiling and shaking your hand |
| But when you get released |
| They turn their backs on you |
| Something I don’t understand |
| What does it mean to the ones that stayed home |
| That you came back from Korea |
