a soldier's memoir - mitch rossell lyrics
verse 1:
i’ve been home about six months now
and i still have my doubts
i’m not sure how i got here
or how i’m gonna get out
my mama says i look the same
as i did before i left
but if she could see inside of me
it would, scare her to death
chorus:
i can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun
and i can hear my sergeant screamin’ “run soldier run”
i can feel the backpack on my shoulder, god it weighted a ton
and i can see death in every single thought
they taught me how to put that uniform on
but i just can’t get it off
verse 2:
last sat-rday they honored us
in a small parade downtown
and when they set off those fireworks
i nearly hit the ground
while they smiled and cheered for us
all i could do was stare
cause half of me is here at home
and half of me is back there
chorus:
i can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun
and i can hear my sergeant screamin’ “run soldier run”
i can feel the backpack on my shoulder, god it weighted a ton
and i can see death in every single thought
they taught me how to put that uniform on
but i just can’t get it off
break:
yeah there’s no end in sight
cause’ even though i’m home now
i’m still fighting for my life
chorus:
i can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun
and i can hear my sergeant screamin’ “run soldier run”
i can feel the backpack on my shoulder, god it weighted a ton
and i can see death in every single thought
they taught me how to put that uniform on
but i just can’t get it off
