Geoff Baker - In the First Week of April lyrics

rate me

In the first week of April 2001

A man on the corner was calling me son

We’ll pay for your college, you’re set when you’re done

Because there’s always a job for an army of one

In the first week of April 2002

I caught a bullet outside of Kabul

They fished it out, sewed me up, just like brand new

And sent me back out there for round number 2

In the first week of April 2003

I was rolling through sandstorms and no one could see

In the back of a Bradley, at the front of a breeze

That blew into Baghdad and can’t seem to leave

In the first week of April 2004

They say it’s all over, but it still looks like war

You can’t tell who’s friendly and you can’t know the score

When you’re fighting the ones that you came to fight for

In the first week of April 2005

Priority One is just staying alive

They shoot from the shadows, they hit you and hide

For each one we take down now there’s two more arrive

In the first week of April 2009

We rotated home for the very last time

But sweet home isn’t home, in my dreams, in my mind

I’m still back in Iraq, I’m still walking the line

<br />

<br />
