First thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground
    C                                                      G
The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hang-out
Em7                                                  C
We drank some beer and talked a lot about old times, but when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes

I said, "I just came back from a place where they hated me and everything I stand for

A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
Am                     C                      D                     C  
If I'm not exactly the same good old boy that you ran around with before
                        G    Em7  C   G
I just came back from a war


The very next morning I took a walk through the neighborhood
I thought it's been so long since Ive been in a place where everything is good
People laughin' and children were playing and as I watched them I found myself praying
"Lord, keep them safe here at home in the land of the free"

Chorus

I hope you cherish this sweet way of life 
    C                       Em           D
And I hope you know that it comes with a price


Chorus 2:
I just came back from a place where they hated me and everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care any more
Chances are I never will be the same, I really don't know any more
I just came back from a war


Tag:
I just came back from a war
You don't know me, you don't know me
I just came back from a war
You don't know me, you don't know me
