I Just Came Back (from A War) Lyrics - Darryl Worley

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 

[background] 

You dont know me (repeated) 

I just came back from a war
