Back To The World lyrics

Back in the world

Back in the world

Back in the world

Back in the world

Crawlin' through the trees

Stuck in mud up to the knees

Fightin' this damn war

Wonderin' if the Lord knows what it's for

Six long years stretch

And we boys was in a hell of a mess

I gotta keep my mind; take it slow

Fightin' hard for what I don't know

I wanna get back home, gotta get back home

Back to the world

I had a talk with little mom

Strenuous face as she began to hum

She said: Boy, it's good to see ya

My prayers must've been with ya

And now that you're back and done

Let me tell ya son

The war was never won

The war was never won

In these city streets everywhere

You gotta be careful where you move your feet; how you part your hair

Do you think that God could never forgive this life we live?

Back in the world

Back in the world

My, my, my, my

It's so hard, it's so hard, it's so hard

This life is so hard

I've been beaten up and robbed

Soldier boy ain't got no job

Back in the world

Had a long stretch of sacrifice

Gettin' back home will be awful nice

Child your woman has long been gone

The doggone war just lasted too long

People don't give a damn

People don't give a damn

People don't give a damn

So I'm standin' here in future shock

It can give the mind an awful knock

Talkin' 'bout hard times, hard times, hard times

Back in the world

My, my, my, my, my, my

It's so hard, it's so hard

This life is so hard

I been beaten up and robbed

Soldier boy ain't got no job

Back in the world

Back in the world

Uh huh, back in the world

Back in the world

My, my, my, my

It's so hard, it's so hard, it's so hard

This life is so hard

Back in the world

Back in the world

Back in the world

Forgiveness instead of amnesty

Simple words that seem so clear to me

Forgive our country,

Forgive your man, wastin' love for hate

Truth from honesty is true

We'd don't seem to know what to do, do

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Back in the world
