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
An’ 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, I 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 think that God could never 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
Back in the world
Had a long old stretch of sacrifice
Gettin’ back home will be awful nice
“Chile, 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
[?]
Talkin’ ‘bout hard times, hard times, hard times
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 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
