Baghdad

Driving down the main drag

I see the Christmas lights

Now that I'm home I'm gonna' promise my girl

There will be no more fights

I walk up her front porch

As off speeds the cab

Her mom and dad meet me at the front door

To tell me I died in Baghdad

I walk over to my father's house

Over on Lincoln Avenue

The house is dark except for the porch light

Shining on the red, white and blue

My mom is in bed crying

My dad is just laying there mad

There's so much I want to tell them

But I died in Baghdad

Now I'm just walking round these old streets

Morning, noon and night

I've got a story for every crack in the sidewalk

And for every corner I pass by

No one sees me, no one knows

But still they all seem so sad

Every now and then I hear my name

They say he died in Baghdad
