I Just Came Back from a War
Darryl Worley

The first thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground

The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hangout

Drank some beer and talked a lot about old times

But when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes

He said I don't know what it is, but you seem different to me


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

If I'm not exactly the same good old boy that you ran around with before

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 I've been in a place where everything is good

People laughing and children were playing

And as I watched em I found myself praying

Lord keep em safe here at home in the land of the free


'cause 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

If I'm not same little freckled face boy


That grew up in that house next door

I just came back from a war


I hope you cherish this sweet way of life

And I hope you know that it comes with a price


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

Chances are I never will be the same

I really don't know anymore

I just came back from a war


I just came back from a war


[background]

You dont know me (repeated)


I just came back from a war

Lyrics by Darryl Worley

  A Good Day to Run   Awful Beautiful Life   Awful Beautiful Life   Awful, Beautiful Life   Back Where I Belong   Better Than I Deserve   Callin' Caroline   Do You Know What That Is   Don't Show Up (If You Can't Get Down)   Everyday Love   Family Tree   Feels Like Work   Find Me   Free   Hard Rain Don't Last   Have You Forgotten   Have You Forgotten?   Honkytonk Life   I Built This Wall   I Just Came Back (From A War)   I love her, She hates me   I Miss My Friend   I Need a Breather   I Wanna Grow Old With You   I Will Hold My Ground   I Wouldn't Mind the Shackles   If I Could Just Be Me   If I Could Tell the Truth   If It Hadn't Been for Love   If Something Should Happen   Is It Just Us?   Jumpin' Off The Wagon   Keep The Change   Living in the Here and Now   Lowdown Women   Messed Up In Memphis   Nothin' but a Love Thang   Nothing But Money   Opportunity of a Lifetime   Party Song   Pow   Pow 369   Second Wind   Shiloh   Shiloh (Presence of the Past)   Sideways   Slow Dancin' With A Memory   Slow Dancing with a Memory   Slow Dancing' With A Memory   Sounds Like Life To Me   Spread A Little Love Around   Tennessee River Run   Tequila On Ice   The Least That You Can Do   The Way Things Are Goin'   Those Less Fortunate Than I   Wake Up America   Was It Good for You   What Make a Man Do That   What Makes a Man Do That   When You Need My Love   Where You Think You're Goin'?   Whisky Makes The World Go Round   Whistle Dixie   Who's Gonna Get Me Over You?   Work and Worry   You Never Know   You Still Got It
