Back in the world
Back in the world
Back in the world
Back in the world
Crawlinâ through the trees
Stuck in mud up to the knees
Fightinâ this damn war
Wonderinâ if the Lord knows what itâs for
Six long years stretch
Anâ we boys was in a hell of a mess
I gotta keep my mind; take it slow
Fightinâ hard (for) what I donât know
I wanna get back home, I gotta get back home
Back to the world
I had a talk with little mom
Strenuous face as she began to hum
She said: âBoy, itâs good to see ya.
My prayers mustâve been with ya.
And now that youâre back and done
Let me tell ya son
The war was never won
The war was never wonâ
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
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
My, my , my, my
Itâs so hard, itâs so hard, itâs so hard
This life is so hard
Iâve been beaten up and robbed
âSoldier boy ainât got no jobâ
Back in the world
Back in the world
Had a long old stretch of sacrifice
Gettinâ back home will be awful nice
âChile, your woman has long been goneâ
The doggone war just lasted too long
People donât give a damn
People donât give a damn
People donât give a damn
So Iâm standinâ here in future shock
Talkinâ âbout hard times, hard times, hard times
Back in the world
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
My, my , my, my
Itâs so hard, itâs so hard, itâs so hard
This life is so hard
I been beaten up and robbed
âSoldier boy ainât got no jobâ
Back in the world
Back in the world
Uh huh. Back in the world
Back in the world
Uh huh, uh huh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
My, my , my, my
Itâs so hard, itâs so hard, itâs so hard
This life is so hard
Back in the world
Ooh ooh ooh hoo
Ooh ooh ooh hoo
