when i stepped off that plane from afghanistan
i thought damn i'm lucky man
everybody in the airport was waving signs and cheerin
they all wanted to shake my hand
if only they knew what i had become
cuz in my head
the war was never done

its crazy bein home
i thought it'd be easier than this
but theres something about a rifle in your hands you miss
i thought i'd be able to forget
but no one here can imagine some of things i did
the things i've seen at such a young age
you dont realize how much it all has changed
when you've been away
yeah those nightmares still paly in my brain
late at night
not everyone gets to win the fight
nobody really knows
what its like back home

i go about my day
like its all the same
i still answer to my name
and look like i did when i left
hey i have no regrets
you can bet
i'd do it all again
with my brothers watching my back
cuz they're more than a friend
oh they're family

its crazy bein home
i thought it'd be easier than this
but theres something about a rifle in your hands you miss
i thought i'd be able to forget
but no one here can imagine some of things i did
the things i've seen at such a young age
you dont realize how much it all has changed
when you've been away
yeah those nightmares still paly in my brain
late at night
not everyone gets to win the fight
nobody really knows
what its like back home

they all look at me a little different now
theres things they all want to know
but i cant tell em to just let it go
oh

its crazy bein home
i thought it'd be easier than this
but theres something about a rifle in your hands you miss
i thought i'd be able to forget
but no one here can imagine some of things i did
the things i've seen at such a young age
you dont realize how much it all has changed
when you've been away
yeah those nightmares still paly in my brain
late at night
not everyone gets to win the fight
nobody really knows
what its like back home
