Crazy Being Home

He almost forgot how to drive over here

While he tried to survive a year over there

Some young punk just flipped him off

And ran him off of the road

He just turned 22 last week

In the back of a strike somewhere in Tehran

He never thought he'll live to be this old

It’s crazy being home

It’s crazy being home

He stepped off a plane

Feels like yesterday

They were waving flags and signs with his name

They said they were proud for what he'd done

If they only knew what he had become

The girl he loved she swore that she'd wait

But he came home to a cold empty place

Had a burger today, got a new cell phone

It’s crazy being home

The stars all look the same

He still answers to his name

It’s OK, something just ain’t right

It's right to fight for what you love

But his young eyes have seen too much

Till you've been where he's been

You wouldn’t understand

I hope you'll never have to, my friend

He got the call, was back on the plane

To where he belongs that might sound insane

But his brothers are there, they can’t fight this alone

So they dropped him right there in the blood red sand

His best friend is locked and loaded in his hands

And the sergeant yells, "Boys, it's time to go"

And he thought, it’s crazy being home

It’s crazy being home

It’s crazy being home

Crazy being home

It’s crazy being home
