He was barely a man that morning
When he got on that plane
In his pocket some music and pictures of homeA few days later he's lying in the jungle
Beneath the pouring rain
Listening to songs of freedom
Feeling scared and aloneCan anybody tell me why I'm here?
Where's the rhyme, where's the reason?
It's all so crazy, it's madness over here
Just who are we fighting forThe guys back home, they're feelin' no pain
Yeah, they're living and lovin'
While we are flyin', dancin' and dyin'
In this rock 'n roll warEverything looked the same that morning
When he came home again
In his baggage some medals and memories of warBut he was different, changed forever
And out of touch with time
Walking the streets of home
He felt lost and aloneCan anybody tell me where I am?
I feel like a stranger
Some call me hero, some have called me names
Some don't call anymoreI made it home but I'm still in pain
I'm not livin' or lovin'
For I'm still flyin', fightin' and dyin'
Tn that rock 'n roll warTell everybody I'm feelin' better
It's been slow but I'm healing
Through mother earth and father time
I don't hurt like beforeI love a good woman, we have a son
He's our joy, our salvation
May he never fly in, fight in or die
In some rock 'n roll warTell everybody I'm doin' alright
Yes, I'm livin' and lovin'
For I'm done flyin', livin' and dyin'
In that rock 'n roll war
