Geoff Baker - In the First Week of April lyrics

In the first week of April Two thousand and one A man on the corner Was calling me son We'll pay for your college You're set when you're done Because there's always a job For an army of one In the first week of April Two thousand and two I caught a bullet Outside of Kabul They fished it out, sewed me up Just like brand new And sent me back out there For round number two In the first week of April Two thousand and three I was rolling through sandstorms And no one could see In the back of a Bradley At the front of a breeze That blew into Baghdad And can't seem to leave In the first week of April Two thousand and four They've said it's all over But it still looks like war You can't tell who's friendly And you can't know the score When you're fighting the ones That you came to fight for In the first week of April Two thousand and five Priority One Is just staying alive They shoot from the shadows They hit you and hide For each one we take down Now there's two more arrive In the first week of April Two thousand and nine We rotated home For the very last time But sweet home isn't home In my dreams, in my mind I'm still back in Iraq I'm still walking the line
