He was barely a man that morning when he got on that planenIn his pocket some music and pictures of homenA few days later he's lying in the jungle, beneath the pouring rainnListening to songs of freedom, feeling scared and alonennCan anybody tell me why I'm here, where's the rhyme where's the reasonnIt's all so crazy, it's madness over here, just who are we fighting fornThe guys back home, they're feelin' no pain, yeah, they're living and lovin'nWhile we are flyin', dancin' and dyin' in this rock 'n roll war.nnEverything looked the same that morning, when he came home againnIn his baggage some medals and memories of warnBut he was different, changed forever and out of touch with timenWalking the streets of home, he felt lost and alonennCan anybody tell me where I am, I feel like a strangernSome call me hero, some have called me names, some don't call anymorenI made it home, but I'm still in pain, I'm not livin' or lovin'nFor I'm still flyin', fightin' and dyin' in that Rock n' Roll warnnTell everybody I feelin' better, it's been slow but I'm healingnThrough mother earth and father time, I don't hurt like beforenI love a good woman, we have a son, he's our joy, our salvationnMay he never fly in, fight in or die in some rock 'n roll warnTell everybody I'm doin' all right, yes, I'm livin' and lovin'nFor I'm done flyin', livin' and dyin' in that rock n' roll war.
