I left my legs in the desert sand       Doin’ my job for Uncle Sam

Hell for me was somebody’s Promiseland 

I went strong but came back a different man

Wife & kids six-thousand miles back home   Sure makes a soldier feel alone

They pinned these medals across my chest said “son you sure done your very best”

But I’m not the same man I was before… I went off to that killin’ war

Do your best, stand your ground salute the flag and we’ll all be proud

Good or bad, right from wrong all gets lost in the killin’ zone

Can your love save me?   Will you still want me?  Cause I’m not the same man that I was before.   That killin’ war….
