Mitch Rossell - A Soldier's Memoir lyrics

Verse 1: I've been home about six months now And I still have my doubts I'm not sure how I got here Or how I'm gonna get out My mama says I look the same As I did before I left But if she could see inside of me It would, scare her to d**h Chorus: I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "Run soldier run" I can feel the backpack on my shoulder, God it weighted a ton And I can see d**h in every single thought They taught me how to put that uniform on But I just can't get it off Verse 2: Last Saturday they honored us In a small parade downtown And when they set off those fireworks I nearly hit the ground While they smiled and cheered for us All I could do was stare Cause half of me is here at home And half of me is back there Chorus: I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "Run soldier run" I can feel the backpack on my shoulder, God it weighted a ton And I can see d**h in every single thought They taught me how to put that uniform on But I just can't get it off Break: Yeah there's no end in sight Cause' even though I'm home now I'm still fighting for my life Chorus: I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "Run soldier run" I can feel the backpack on my shoulder, God it weighted a ton And I can see d**h in every single thought They taught me how to put that uniform on But I just can't get it off
