A Soldier's Memoir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
