I Just Came Back (From A War)

The first thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground
 The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hangout
 Drank some beer and talked a lot about old times
 But when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes
 He said I don't know what it is, but you seem different to me
 I said I just came back from a place where they hated me
 and everything I stand for
 A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
 If I'm not exactly the same good old boy that you ran around with before
 I just came back from a war
 The very next morning I took a walk through the neighborhood
 I thought it's been so long since I've been in a place where everything is good
 People laughing and children were playing
 And as I watched em I found myself praying
 Lord keep em safe here at home in the land of the free
 'cause I just came back from a place where they hated me
 And everything I stand for
 A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
 If I'm not same little freckled face boy
 That grew up in that house next door
 I just came back from a war
 I hope you cherish this sweet way of life
 And I hope you know that it comes with a price
 I just came back from a place where they hated me
 And everything I stand for
 A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
 Chances are I never will be the same
 I really don't know anymore
 I just came back from a war
 I just came back from a war

 You dont know me (repeated)
 I just came back from a war
