Far Afghanistan - James Taylor (詹姆斯·泰勒)[00:00:00]

Back home Indiana we just learn to get along[00:00:11]

Civilized and socialized they teach you right from wrong[00:00:17]

How to hold your liquor and how to hold your tongue[00:00:23]

How to hold a woman or a baby or a gun[00:00:28]

But nothing will prepare you for the far Afghanistan[00:00:34]

You can listen to their stories and pick up what you can[00:00:40]

You listen to their stories maybe read a book or two[00:00:47]

Until they send you out there man you haven't got a clue[00:00:52]

Oh the Hindu Kush the Band-e Amir the Hazara[00:01:00]

They tell you a tradition in the hills of Kandahar[00:01:08]

They say young boys are taken to the wilderness out there[00:01:14]

Taken to the mountain alone and in the night[00:01:21]

If he makes it home alive they teach him how to fight[00:01:26]

They fought against the Russians they fought against the Brits[00:01:34]

They fought old Alexander talking 'bout him ever since[00:01:40]

And after 9/11 here comes your Uncle Sam[00:01:47]

Another painful lesson in the far Afghanistan[00:01:52]

I was ready to be terrified and ready to be mad[00:02:18]

I was ready to be homesick the worst I've ever had[00:02:24]

I expected to be hated and insulted to my face[00:02:30]

But nothing could prepare me for the beauty of the place[00:02:35]

No matter what they tell you all soldiers talk to God[00:02:44]

It's a private conversation written in your blood[00:02:51]

The enemy's no different badass holy wind[00:02:57]

That crazy bastard talks to God and his God talks back to him[00:03:02]
