(2017)
They drafted him straight out of the high school
Three months before he was done
They made him a man on the island*
And gave him a gun.
They dropped him off in a jungle
To fight in another man’s war
23 kills and he don’t know
What he’s fighting for.
But he’s serving his time
Out of his mind
Trying to find
His Way Back Home.
He suffered through three tours of duty
Friends came and went by the day
He finally came home a hero without his parade
And he’ll never explain what he’s been through
To anyone who’ll understand
What it’s like to leave home full of honor
And come back half a man.
But he’s serving his time
Out of his mind
Trying to find
His Way Back Home.
He’s fighting his way through the memories
Hoping his war soon end
He’s lost himself in a battle, he can’t seem to win
But he’s serving his time
Out of his mind
Trying to find
His Way Back Home
His Way Back Home
His Way Back Home…..
