HIS WAY BACK HOME

They drafted him straight out of high school
Three months before he was done
They made him a man on the island and gave him a gun
They dropped him off in a jungle
To fight in another man’s war
Twenty three kills and he don’t know what he’s fighting for

But he’s serving his time, Out of his mind
Trying to find, His way back home

He suffered through three tours of duty
Friends came and went by the day
He finally came home a hero without his parade
He’ll never explain what he’s been through
To anyone who’ll understand
What it’s like to leave home full of honor and come back half a man

But he’s serving his time, Out of his mind
Trying to find, His way back home

He’s fighting his way through the memories
Hoping his war will soon end
He’s lost himself in a battle he can’t seem to win

But he’s serving his time, Out of his mind
Trying to find,
His way back home
His way back home
His way back home
