1, 2, 3, 4

I hold the cold steel of my rifle as I dream of foreign lands,
And I promise myself I will cherish every moment I can,
But there's ghosts that follow me around everywhere I am
When I say 'goodbye' I try to be strong
Now I'm going back to the US where I belong
I am never alone, the war seems to follow me home
No longer an active soldier when I walk down the street
Now I'm shaking hands with everyone that I meet
And I watch everyone and I'm wondering what they see

Civilian ways are now what's foreign to me,
I came off a long time
I left this place in two oh oh three
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me

I live in Marysville right on the county line,
And my brother and my mother both visit me all the time,
And visions of you are always running right through my mind
We always talked about what we're gonna do when no war is won
We're gonna fix up them old cars and ride them into the sun
When I heard you was no longer with us, man, I was done

Civilian ways are now what's foreign to me,
I came off a long time
I left this place in two oh oh three
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me
