Thank You to all those who serve in the armed forces. I don't support our current policies, but I do support our soldiers.

[Verse 1]

I've been home about six months now

And I still have my doubts

I'm not sure how I got here

Or how I'm gonna get out

My mama says I look the same

As I did before I left

But if she could see inside of me

It would, scare her to death

[Chorus]

I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun

And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "Run soldier run"

I can feel the backpack on my shoulder, God it weighted a ton

And I can see death in every single thought

They taught me how to put that uniform on

But I just can't get it off

[Verse 2]

Last Saturday they honored us

In a small parade downtown

And when they set off those fireworks

I nearly hit the ground

While they smiled and cheered for us

All I could do was stare

Cause half of me is here at home

And half of me is back there

[Chorus]

I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun

And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "Run soldier run"

I can feel the backpack on my shoulder, God it weighted a ton

And I can see death in every single thought

They taught me how to put that uniform on

But I just can't get it off

[Bridge]

Yeah there's no end in sight

Cause' even though I'm home now

I'm still fighting for my life

[Chorus]

I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun

And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "Run soldier run"

I can feel the backpack on my shoulder, God it weighted a ton

And I can see death in every single thought

They taught me how to put that uniform on

But I just can't get it off
