On nights like this when I can't sleep I count the tally marks on the wall 516 days and nights of this I get so cold I rub my hands until they're raw I got captured in a firefight I got drafted in a war I won't die for goddamned stars and stripes I won't kill a man. Nothing could kill me more If I get home I'm gonna drift to sleep like a river log And remember what it's like to have a dream If I get home I'm gonna drink black coffee every morning And watch the sky get painted in the east Baby you must've puked your guts When the army found our house and rang the bell Knowing that I can't stop your hands from shaking Or your pale blue eyes from crying is the worst of Dante's Hells What do you tell our little girl When she asks you when her daddy's coming back I can still see her in the kitchen chair I'd hide my face with my two hands And take them down again to make her laugh If I get home I hope my daughter comes running in her baby doll dress I'd pick her up and spin around in the street If I get home I hope my dog comes racing through the field Like a car chase that's in hot pursuit of me If I get home I'd wake you up with a kiss. You'd spread your legs apart like pages of sacred poems only I could read If I get home I'm gonna go stark mad, talk like God And promise you that I won't ever leave If I get home If I get home If I get home
