Back From KoreaGetting a boat back from out of KoreaI was impatient to go When you have lived in a tent for so long Fighting the heat and the snow Getting so tired of saluting the man Can't have a mind of your own Crossing the days off a calendar sheet It doesn't seem real I'm going home Packing my kitbag to throw on a truck Never returning no more Out in the ocean the ship is a toy Stomach is throwing back food Hang on the ropes when you're going on deck Nothing about it seems good Then you get to dreaming of where you are going The storm will be over fore long Check the horizon to see if it's changed Somewhere out there is my home Give me the papers, where do I sign? Three years of army is through Serving your country they tell you is fine Give you a gun and go kill But when you come back for civilian work Sorry your job has been filled They're speaking of the glory of the uniform Smiling and shaking your hand But when you get released They turn their backs on you Something I don't understand What does it mean to the ones that stayed home That you came back from Korea |
