"Oh lord I'm tired and sad 
and I want you oh so bad

Last night we had a fire fight 
machine guns firing tracers through the night 
and as we fought, my thoughts, they turned to you 
and I knew, somehow, darling I'll come through 

I've fought in many places 
and I've seen war's thousand faces

I'll think of you each day 
I'll come home when I can
