a solider's memoir - mitch rossell lyrics
been home about six months now
but i still have my doubts
well 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
i can still taste the powder
from the barrel of my gun
and i can hear my sergeant screaming
“run, soldier, run”
and i can feel the backpack on my shoulders
god it weighed a ton
and i see death in every single thought
they taught me how to put that uniform on
i just can’t get it off
last sat*rday they honored us
in a small parade downtown
and when they shot off those fireworks
i nearly hit the ground
and while they smiled and cheered for us
all i could do was stare
cause part of me is here at home
but part of me is back there
i can still taste the powder
from the barrel of my gun
and i can hear my sergeant screaming
“run, soldier, run”
and i can feel the backpack on my shoulders
god it weighed a ton
and i see death in every single thought
they taught me how to put that uniform on
i just can’t get it off
yeah there’s no end in sight
cause even though i’m home now
i’m still fighting for my life
i can still taste the powder
from the barrel of my gun
and i can hear my sergeant screaming
“run, soldier, run”
and i can feel the backpack on my shoulders
god it weighed a ton
and i see death in every single thought
they taught me how to put that uniform on
i just can’t get it off
well the devil’s won some battles
and he may win some more
but don’t he know the american soldier
will always win the war
