Still Ain't Made It Home

Me and some guys I served with
Over there in Desert Hell
Got together a while back
Everybody's doin' pretty well

Sanchez had a couple new tatoos
Price is a computer nerd
Somebody asked about T-Bone
I said the last I heard

He made it back, like the rest of us
Put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up
But when you see things no one should see
Sometimes the guy you used to be
Has to fight a battle of his own
He made it back, but he still ain't made it home

He went back to Connie
You know they're from Council Bluffs
She told me she still loves him
But it's been pretty tough

Says he's not sleepin', drinkin' heavy
Spends too much time alone
Until she sees that smile she knows
She'll leave that porch light on

He made it back, like the rest of us
Put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up
But when you see things no one should see
Sometimes the guy you used to be
Has to fight a battle of his own
He made it back, but he still ain't made it home

We raised a glass to T-Bone
Said boys let's don't forget
Just cause you're not bleeding
Don't mean you ain't been hit

He made it back, like the rest of us
Put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up
But when you see things no one should see
Sometimes the guy you used to be
Has to fight a battle of his own
He made it back, but he still ain't made it home
He made it back, but he still ain't made it home
