Back to the Barracks |
I shot you in the arm |
It was intentional, or unintentional |
My thoughts were unaware |
This isn’t our first wound |
It’ll look smaller in the morning |
When the light reveals |
The bigger ones still there |
We get three good days |
Then it’s back to the barracks, yeah |
It’s back to the barracks |
Feeling anxious, feeling bad |
We get three good days |
Then it’s back to the barracks |
Wondering if there could be better days ahead |
Wasn’t long ago we walked in fields of green |
There were no mines between the places where we roamed |
Now we just tiptoe as we both wait to cast the first stone |
When those little god damn mines begin to blow |
We get three good days |
Then it’s back to the barracks, yeah |
It’s back to the barracks |
Feeling anxious, feeling bad |
We get three good days |
Then it’s back to the barracks |
Wondering if there could be better days ahead |
Ooh, ooh, ooh |
You shot me in the arm |
I saw your face grow pale |
And we both knew so well |
That nothing had been won |
We trigger-worn and wary |
And the only thing that scares me |
Is the thought that one of us could die alone |
Ooh, ooh, ooh |
Three good days |
Then it’s back to the barracks |
Wondering if there could be better days |
I know there could be better days |
So here’s to all those better days ahead |
