When a Soldier Makes it Home - Arlo Guthrie (阿洛·古利)[00:00:00]
Halfway around the world tonight[00:00:30]
In a strange and foreign land[00:00:33]
A soldier packs his memories[00:00:37]
As he leaves Afghanistan[00:00:40]
Back home they don't know too much[00:00:45]
There's just no way to tell[00:00:48]
I guess you had to be there[00:00:52]
For to know that war was hell[00:00:55]
And there won't be any victory parades[00:01:00]
For those that's coming back[00:01:03]
They'll fly them in at midnight[00:01:08]
And unload the body sacks[00:01:11]
Living will be walking down[00:01:15]
A long and lonely road[00:01:18]
Because nobody seems to care these days[00:01:24]
When a soldier makes it home[00:01:28]
They'll say it wasn't easy[00:01:38]
Just another job well done[00:01:41]
As the government in Kabul falls[00:01:45]
To the sounds of rebel guns[00:01:48]
And the faces of the comrades[00:01:52]
Being blown out of the sky[00:01:55]
Leaves you bitter with the feeling[00:01:59]
That they didn't have to die[00:02:03]
And there won't be any victory parades[00:02:07]
For those that's coming back[00:02:11]
They'll fly them in at midnight[00:02:15]
And unload the body sacks[00:02:18]
And the living will be walking down[00:02:22]
A long and lonely road[00:02:25]
Because nobody seems to care these days[00:02:31]
When a soldier makes it home[00:02:35]
Halfway around the world tonight[00:03:22]
In a strange and foreign land[00:03:26]
A soldier unpacks memories[00:03:29]
That he saved from Vietnam[00:03:33]
Back home they didn't know too much[00:03:37]
There was just no way to tell[00:03:40]
I guess you had to be there[00:03:44]
For to know that war was hell[00:03:48]
And there wasn't any big parades[00:03:52]
For those that made it back[00:03:55]
They flew them in at midnight[00:04:00]
And unloaded all the sacks[00:04:03]
And the living were left walking down[00:04:07]
A long and lonely road[00:04:10]
Because nobody seemed to care back then[00:04:16]
When a soldier made it home[00:04:20]
The night is coming quickly[00:04:30]
And the stars are on their way[00:04:33]
As I stare into the evening[00:04:36]
Looking for the words to say[00:04:40]
That I saw the lonely soldier[00:04:44]
Just a boy that's far from home[00:04:47]
And I saw that I was just like him[00:04:51]
While upon this earth I roam[00:04:55]
And there may not be any big parades[00:04:59]
If I ever make it back[00:05:03]
As I come home under cover[00:05:06]
Through a world that can't keep track[00:05:10]
Of the heroes who have fallen[00:05:13]
Let alone the ones who won't[00:05:17]
Which is why nobody seems to care[00:05:23]
When a soldier makes it home[00:05:27]
