|
[Chorus] I got to go back to the world |
|
Back to my girl |
|
Back to my family and kids |
|
Have to go and see my home again |
|
Don't want my life to end |
|
Before my time is due |
|
Just got the postal package from my wife and kids |
|
It brings me comfort while |
|
I'm stuck in this desert mess |
|
But don't get me wrong, perform my mission |
|
Just sounding off on my homesick condition |
|
Got to get out, a short timer, my heart it begs for home [Chorus] |
|
Seen many a firefight since we deployed out here |
|
Learned how to survive with my friends |
|
They're focus, adrenaline and fear |
|
But the odds haunt me, hope |
|
I don't get hit |
|
Be that body with a flag adorned to it |
|
I'm gonna make it, the short timer, hellbent on going home [Chorus] |
|
I'm not a policy maker |
|
Just a sworn-in order taker |
|
Doing my best to stay alive |
|
I'm gonna make it |
|
To conus real soon |
|
Hope some days still lie ahead for me [Chorus] |
|
I've gotta go back |
|
Too short to turn back |
|
Gotta go back |
|
Back to the world again |
