lyrics

I went to war because I was bored
I was working too hard and wondering what for
I forgot what I was made for
That's what I was looking for when I went to war

Now it won't be long till I go home
I hope I'm a different man, I pray I'm better

I went to war to keep her guessing
She thought she had figured me out, but she was wrong
Something tho throw her off
That's what I was looking for when I went to war

When I went to war I was alone
I didn't leave no sweetheart back home
I never looked back
That's why I felt so bold when I went to war

I went to war because I was called
I've known ever since I was only nine years old
My boyhood came back to me
And that's why I felt so bold when I went to war

I've not changed so much
But my home is not what it was
My home is a ghost town
My family has all gone
My mother and father
My sisters and brothers
My sons and my daughters
Moved on
