Back To The World

[Chorus] I got to go back to the world Back to my girl Back to my family and kids Have to go and see my home again Don't want my life to end Before my time is due Just got the postal package from my wife and kids It brings me comfort while I'm stuck in this desert mess But don't get me wrong, perform my mission Just sounding off on my homesick condition Got to get out, a short timer, my heart it begs for home [Chorus] Seen many a firefight since we deployed out here Learned how to survive with my friends They're focus, adrenaline and fear But the odds haunt me, hope I don't get hit Be that body with a flag adorned to it I'm gonna make it, the short timer, hellbent on going home [Chorus] I'm not a policy maker Just a sworn-in order taker Doing my best to stay alive I'm gonna make it To conus real soon Hope some days still lie ahead for me [Chorus] I've gotta go back Too short to turn back Gotta go back Back to the world again
