Been home about six months now|And I still have my doubts|I'm not sure how I got here|Or how I'm gonna get out||My mama says I look the same|As I did before I left|But if she could see inside of me|It would, scare her to death||Chorus|I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun|And I can hear my sergeant screamin' 'run soldier run'|And I can feel the backpack on my shoulders|God, it weighed a ton|And I can see death in every single thought|They taught me how to put that uniform on|I just can't get it off||Last Saturday they honored us|In a small parade downtown|And when they shot off those fireworks|I nearly hit the ground||And while they smiled and cheered for us|All I could do was stare|Cause part of me is here at home|And part of me is back there||Repeat Chorus||Bridge|Yeah there's no end in sight|Cause' even though I'm home now|I'm still fighting for my life||Repeat Chorus|Well the Devil's won some battles|And he may win some more|But don't he know |The American soldier |Will always win the war'
