RANCID - Civilian Ways lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I hold the cold steel of my rifle<br>

as I dream of foreign lands<br>

And I promise myself<br>

I will cherish every moment I can<br>

But there's ghosts that follow me around<br>

Everywhere I am<br>

When I say goodbye <br>

I try to be strong<br>

Now I'm going back to the U.S.<br>

where I belong<br>

<br>

I ain't never alone<br>

The war seems to follow me home<br>

No longer an active soldier<br>

When I walk down the street<br>

I'm shaking hands <br>

with everyone that I meet<br>

And I watch everyone <br>

wondering what they see<br>

<br>

Civilian ways are now <br>

what's foreign to me<br>

I came off a long tour<br>

I left this place in two o three<br>

May we never forget the sacrifices<br>

My friends made for me<br>

<br>

I live in Marysville<br>

out on the county line<br>

And my Brother and my Mother<br>

both visit me all the time<br>

And visions of you<br>

are always running right through my mind<br>

We always talk about <br>

what we're gonna do <br>

when the war is won<br>

We're gonna fix up them old cars<br>

and ride them into the sun<br>

When I heard you're no longer with us<br>

Man I was done<br>

<br>

Civilian ways are now <br>

what's foreign to me<br>

I came off a long tour<br>

I left this place in two o three<br>

<br>

May we never forget the sacrifices<br>

My friends made for me <br>
