《When a Soldier Makes it Home》歌词

[00:00:00] When a Soldier Makes it Home - Arlo Guthrie (阿洛·古利)

[00:00:30] Halfway around the world tonight

[00:00:33] In a strange and foreign land

[00:00:37] A soldier packs his memories

[00:00:40] As he leaves Afghanistan

[00:00:45] Back home they don't know too much

[00:00:48] There's just no way to tell

[00:00:52] I guess you had to be there

[00:00:55] For to know that war was hell

[00:01:00] And there won't be any victory parades

[00:01:03] For those that's coming back

[00:01:08] They'll fly them in at midnight

[00:01:11] And unload the body sacks

[00:01:15] Living will be walking down

[00:01:18] A long and lonely road

[00:01:24] Because nobody seems to care these days

[00:01:28] When a soldier makes it home

[00:01:38] They'll say it wasn't easy

[00:01:41] Just another job well done

[00:01:45] As the government in Kabul falls

[00:01:48] To the sounds of rebel guns

[00:01:52] And the faces of the comrades

[00:01:55] Being blown out of the sky

[00:01:59] Leaves you bitter with the feeling

[00:02:03] That they didn't have to die

[00:02:07] And there won't be any victory parades

[00:02:11] For those that's coming back

[00:02:15] They'll fly them in at midnight

[00:02:18] And unload the body sacks

[00:02:22] And the living will be walking down

[00:02:25] A long and lonely road

[00:02:31] Because nobody seems to care these days

[00:02:35] When a soldier makes it home

[00:03:22] Halfway around the world tonight

[00:03:26] In a strange and foreign land

[00:03:29] A soldier unpacks memories

[00:03:33] That he saved from Vietnam

[00:03:37] Back home they didn't know too much

[00:03:40] There was just no way to tell

[00:03:44] I guess you had to be there

[00:03:48] For to know that war was hell

[00:03:52] And there wasn't any big parades

[00:03:55] For those that made it back

[00:04:00] They flew them in at midnight

[00:04:03] And unloaded all the sacks

[00:04:07] And the living were left walking down

[00:04:10] A long and lonely road

[00:04:16] Because nobody seemed to care back then

[00:04:20] When a soldier made it home

[00:04:30] The night is coming quickly

[00:04:33] And the stars are on their way

[00:04:36] As I stare into the evening

[00:04:40] Looking for the words to say

[00:04:44] That I saw the lonely soldier

[00:04:47] Just a boy that's far from home

[00:04:51] And I saw that I was just like him

[00:04:55] While upon this earth I roam

[00:04:59] And there may not be any big parades

[00:05:03] If I ever make it back

[00:05:06] As I come home under cover

[00:05:10] Through a world that can't keep track

[00:05:13] Of the heroes who have fallen

[00:05:17] Let alone the ones who won't

[00:05:23] Which is why nobody seems to care

[00:05:27] When a soldier makes it home
