"Oh lord I'm tired and sad

and I want you oh so bad

I've been away so very long

now I want to go home.

So remember that I love you

that, my dear is true

just say a prayer for your man."

"Last night we had a fire fight

machine guns firing tracers through the night

and as we fought,

my thoughts, they turned to you

and I knew, somehow, darling I'll come thrgouh

I've fought in many places

and I've seen war's thousand faces

but after this, my wars are through

and I'll-I'll come home to you

Even thought I'm far away

I'll think of you each day

I'll come home when I can"
