Still Ain't Made It Home

Me and some guys I served with

Over there in Desert Hell

Got together a while back

Everybody's doin' pretty well

Sanchez had a couple new tatoos

Price is a computer nerd

Somebody asked about T-Bone

I said the last I heard

He made it back, like the rest of us

Put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up

But when you see things no one should see

Sometimes the guy you used to be

Has to fight a battle of his own

He made it back, but he still ain't made it home

He went back to Connie

You know they're from Council Bluffs

She told me she still loves him

But it's been pretty tough

Says he's not sleepin', drinkin' heavy

Spends too much time alone

Until she sees that smile she knows

She'll leave that porch light on

He made it back, like the rest of us

Put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up

But when you see things no one should see

Sometimes the guy you used to be

Has to fight a battle of his own

He made it back, but he still ain't made it home

We raised a glass to T-Bone

Said boys let's don't forget

Just cause you're not bleeding

Don't mean you ain't been hit

He made it back, like the rest of us

Put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up

But when you see things no one should see

Sometimes the guy you used to be

Has to fight a battle of his own

He made it back, but he still ain't made it home

He made it back, but he still ain't made it home
