FARM BOY

Whisper under my breath, say a little prayer
Same as I do every time I step into the sun's bright glare
I am just a farm boy, lived up on the hill
Wanted to get away; now the army pays my bills
And I'm just dreaming of the time that I can go home
I'm just dreaming of the time that I can go home

Here comes a captain, take his anger out on me
Call's down fire upon my country's enemies
Wants me to pick our targets, but all that I can see
Is farmers and their families and a whole lot of misery
'Cos I'm just dreaming of the time when I can go home
I'm just dreaming of the time when I can go home

Say a little prayer now, second one today
Oh sweet Jesus won't you take my sins away
I'm just dreaming of the time that I can go home
I'm just dreaming of the time when I can go home
Yeah, I'm just dreaming of the time when I can go home
I'm just dreaming of the time that I can go home
