Lyrics: Caronte 2024 Inoxidables Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtBhQA-ZhNtDzAm9IJB5_xw Podcast go.ivoox.com/sq/2330386 Thanks!! I left Alabama with a spark in my eye, Wavin’ at mama, said, "I’ll be back by and by." The call of my country, I was proud to stand, But the jungles of Vietnam weren’t what I planned. I fought for my country, gave all I could give, But the scars of the war make it hard to live. A boy left his home, now a man bears the pain, The world I defended won't look at me the same. The heat of the jungle, where nightmares come alive, The whiskey and powders helped me survive. Bullets and screams, they haunt my soul, I gave them my youth, now I feel so old. I fought for my country, gave all I could give, But the scars of the war make it hard to live. A boy left his home, now a man bears the pain, The world I defended won't look at me the same. Came back to my town, thought they’d understand, But their eyes just burned, they wouldn’t shake my hand. "You're just a soldier, you're still not free," Their words cut deeper than any enemy. I fought for my country, gave all I could give, But the scars of the war make it hard to live. A boy left his home, now a man bears the pain, The world I defended won't look at me the same. Now I sit on my porch, with a bottle of pain, Dreamin’ of jungles, hearin’ cries in the rain. I fought for my home, now I’m lost and alone, Defended my country, but it don’t feel like home.
