Tour Of Duty Lyrics - Here We Rest - Jason Isbell

I'm arriving on the day's last train 

Stepping on the platform, trying to see you through the rain 

I don't know the ways you've changed since I left 

And I really don't care 

I've done my tour of duty 

Now I'm home and I ain't going anywhere 

I taught myself to tolerate the pain 

All the loneliness and boredom and the work I did in vain 

All the work we did in vain 

Now I'm not the same as I was

I've done my tour of duty 

Now I'll try to do what a civilian does 

And I promise not to bore you with my stories 

And I promise not to scare you with my tears 

And I never would exaggerate the glory 

I'll seem so satisfied here 

I've been eating like I'm out on bail 

Collard greens and chicken wings and oysters by the pail 

Eating oysters by the pail 

Making up for those lost days 

'Cause I've done my tour of duty 

Now I'm going to put you in the family way 

Photos 

We'll laugh like little children telling secrets 

Probably cry like old women drinking gin 

'Cause I've done my tour of duty 

Now I'm home and I ain't leaving here again 

I've done my tour of duty 

Now I'm home and I ain't leaving here again
