Lyrics

I got woken up in the middle of the night
By a jet flying over for doing’ another airstrike
Three more weeks and then I’m through
And then it’s “Honey, I’m coming home to you.”

I got sand in my teeth and blood in my eye
I got sores on my feet and shrapnel in my thigh
Your picture on my helmet what’s got me through
Oh Honey I’m coming home to you

Chorus
I’m coming home to you
We’ll lay together under a full moon
A glass of wine and some Dylan tunes
Oh Honey I’m coming home to you

Well just last Monday we lost Slo’Tom
When his HUM-V got nailed by a roadside bomb
I watched them carry his body through
Don’t worry Honey, I’m coming home to you

Well I’ve seen somethings that I’ll never understand
I watched the blood of the innocent soak into the sand
Kids so young with guns in their hands
Oh it’s true, I’m coming home to you

Chorus
I’m coming home to you
We’ll lay together under a full moon
A glass of wine and some Dylan tunes
Oh Honey I’m coming home to you

Bridge
I was trained to kill the threat
But sometimes I wonder if I’m it
Shoot to kill or is it kill to shoot?
The hot sun can blind the truth
But what exactly are we fighting for?
Bringing peace or taking foreign oil?
There’s one thing I know is true
And that’s Honey I’m coming home to you

Chorus
I’m coming home to you
We’ll lay together under a full moon
A glass of wine and some Dylan tunes
Oh Honey I’m coming home to you
