Paroles de Back From Korea
Getting a boat back from out of Korea,I was impatient to go
When you have lived in a tent for so long,
fighting the heat and the snow
Getting so tired of saluting the man -
can't have a mind of your own
Crossing the days off a calendar sheet
it doesn't seem real I'm going home
Packing my kitbag to throw on a truck -
never returning no more
Out in the ocean the ship is a toy ?
stomach is throwing back food
Hang on the ropes when you're going on deck ?
nothing about it seems good
Then you get to dreaming of where you are going,
the storm will be over fore long
Check the horizon to see if it's changed -
somewhere out there is my home
Give me the papers, where do I sign?
Three years of Army is through
Serving your country they tell you is fine,
give you a gun and go kill
But when you come back for civilian work -
Sorry your job has been filled
They're speaking of the glory of the uniform,
smiling and shaking your hand that you came back from Korea?
it doesn't seem real I'm going home
Packing my kitbag to throw on a truck -
never returning no more
Out in the ocean the ship is a toy ?
stomach is throwing back food
Hang on the ropes when you're going on deck ?
nothing about it seems good
Then you get to dreaming of where you are going,
the storm will be over fore long
Check the horizon to see if it's changed -
somewhere out there is my home
Give me the papers, where do I sign?
Three years of Army is through
Serving your country they tell you is fine,
give you a gun and go kill
But when you come back for civilian work -
Sorry your job has been filled
They're speaking of the glory of the uniform,
smiling and shaking your hand that you came back from Korea?
