Joe Bachman Back Home lyrics

Back home
I bet the boys are at the bar drinkin' ice- cold Buds
Laughin', back-slappin', and cuttin-up
I bet they'll raise a glass to all of us
Man, I sure wish I was back home

Right now Mama's at the sink washin' supper plates
While Daddy watches CNN lookin' for my face
Praying for a sign that says I'm ok
They're just countin' down the days
Til I'm back home

Oh now don't worry Daddy, you can relax
I'm surrounded by the bravest boys in Iraq
When we got here, we all made a pact
"Make sure each one of us makes it back"
Back Home

Amy's puttin' little Roni to bed
Tuckin' her in and kissin' her head
Fightin' back the tears when she says,

"Mama, when's Daddy gonna be back home?"

Oh now don't worry Amy, you can relax
I'm surrounded by the bravest boys in Iraq
When we got here, we all made a pact
"Make sure each one of us makes it back"
Back Home

Back home
There's a little piece of land with a quiet creek
With a perfect tree for a tire swing
I swear I'll live there the rest of my life in peace
When I make it back
Back Home

Back Home
I bet the boys are at the bar drinkin' ice-cold Buds
Man, I sure wish I was
