Back in the world

Back in the world
5
Crawlin' through the trees
6
Stuck in mud up to the knees
7
Fightin' this damn war
8
Wonderin' if the Lord knows what it's for
9
Six long years stretch
10
An' we boys was in a hell of a mess
11
I gotta keep my mind; take it slow
12
Fightin' hard (for) what I don't know
13
I wanna get back home, I gotta get back home
14
Back to the world
15
I had a talk with little mom
16
Strenuous face as she began to hum
17
She said: "Boy, it's good to see ya.
18
My prayers must've been with ya.
19
And now that you're back and done
20
Let me tell ya son
21
The war was never won
22
The war was never won"
23
In these city streets everywhere
24
You gotta be careful where you move your feet; how you part your hair
25
Do you think that God could never forgive this life we live?

I've been beaten up and robbed

"Soldier boy ain't got no job"

Back in the world
35
Back in the world
36
Had a long old stretch of sacrifice
37
Gettin' back home will be awful nice
38
"Chile, your woman has long been gone"
39
The doggone war just lasted too long
40
People don't give a damn
