A Soldier's Memoir LRC歌词

[00:06.47]Been home about six months now

[00:10.06]But I still have my doubts

[00:14.15]Well I'm not sure how I got here

[00:17.73]Or how I'm gonna get out

[00:20.82]My mama says I look the same

[00:23.98]As I did before I left

[00:27.33]But if she could see inside of me

[00:31.20]It would scare her to death

[00:34.56]I can still taste the powder

[00:37.74]From the barrel of my gun

[00:41.15]I can hear my sergeant screaming

[00:44.83]

[00:48.10]I can feel the backpack on my shoulders

[00:52.39]God it weighed a ton

[00:55.43]And I see death in every single thought

[01:02.49]They taught me how to put that uniform on

[01:07.29]I just can't get it off

[01:16.57]Last Saturday they honored us

[01:20.22]In a small parade downtown

[01:23.37]And when they shot off those fireworks

[01:26.84]I nearly hit the ground

[01:30.30]And while they smiled and cheered for us

[01:33.96]All I could do was stare

[01:37.25]Cause part of me is here at home

[01:40.93]And part of me is back there

[01:44.22]I can still taste the powder

[01:47.46]From the barrel of my gun

[01:50.85]I can hear my sergeant screaming

[01:54.75]

[01:57.98]I can feel the backpack on my shoulders

[02:01.72]God it weighed a ton

[02:04.96]And I see death in every single thought

[02:12.20]They taught me how to put that uniform on

[02:17.30]I just can't get it off

[02:22.34]Yeah there's no end in sight

[02:25.98]Cause even though I'm home now

[02:28.90]I'm still fighting for my life

[02:36.33]I can still taste the powder

[02:39.82]From the barrel of my gun

[02:43.36]I can hear my sergeant screaming

[02:47.10]"Run, soldier, run"

[02:50.27]I can feel the backpack on my shoulders

[02:53.93]God it weighed a ton

[02:57.39]And I see death in every single thought

[03:04.21]They taught me how to put that uniform on

[03:09.43]I just can't get it off

[03:18.03]Well the devil's won some battles

[03:21.42]And he may win some more

[03:24.07]But don't he know the American soldier

[03:29.10]Will always win the war
