First thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground Next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hang out We drank some beer and talked a lot about old times, but when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes He said I dont 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 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 its been so long since I've been in a place where everythings good People laughing and children were playing As I watched them I found myself praying, Lord keep them safe here at home In the land of the free Because 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 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 [background] You dont know me (repeated) I just came back from a war |
