I'm ridin on the days last train Steppin on the platform tryin to see you through the rain I dont know the ways youve changed since I left And i really dont care Ive done my tour of duty now im home and i aint goin anywhere I taught myself to tolerate the pain All the loneliness and boredom and the work i didnt blame on the work we didnt blame No im not the same as i was Ive done my tour of duty Now ill try to do what ace a million does I promise not to bore you with my stories I promise not to scare you with my tears I never would exaggerate the glory I'll seem so satisfied here
I been eating like im out on bail Collard greens and chicken wings oysters by the pail eatin oysters by the pail Making up for those lost days Cause ive done my tour of duty And now im going to put you in my family, wait
We'll laugh like little children tellin secrets Probably cry like old women drinkin gin Cause ive done my tour of duty and now im home and i aint leavin here again Ive done my tour of duty and i aint leavin here again.
