Ex. combat engineer

[Walt's Daughter]

Get On Back Home

 

I don't know why I left

But I must've done wrong

And it won't be long

'Till I get on back home

Got a letter in the mail

Go to war or go to jail

 

Sat me in that barber's chair

Spun me around, I had no hair

 

Used to drive a Cadillac

Now I pack it on my back

 

Used to drive a limousine

Now I'm wearing Army green

 

Dress it right and cover down

Forty inches all around

 

Nine to the front and six to the rear

That's the way we do it here

 

Used to date a beauty queen

Now I date my M-16

 

Ain't no use in lookin' down

Ain't no discharge on the ground

 

Ain't no use in going back

Jody's got your Cadillac

 

Ain't no use in calling home

Jody's got your girl and gone

 

Ain't no use in feeling blue

Jody's got your sister too

 

Took away my faded jeans

Now I'm wearing Army greens

 

They took away my gin and rum

Now I'm up before the sun

 

Mama Mama can't you see

What this Army's done for me

 

Mama Mama can't you see

This Army life is killing me
