Safe Back Home Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I put on her colors with honor 

And carried them over the sea 

To battle at the mouth of the devil's tunnels 

Are you safe back home praying for me 

And do you still use the same words you taught me 

That you learned at the Dear Savior's knee 

On that sweet morning there in the garden 

And are you safe back home praying for me 

How long (how long) 

How long (how long) 

Will the words of this prayer be my hope 

If it be His will and I'm the leopard that will 

We'll say Amen together I know

On patrol in the cold of this desert 

I trembled as I waited for my relief 

And I picture a circle of family 

Are you safe back home praying for me
