Lyrics
I came here years ago looking for the light
Seeking meaning in a haze of hash, I sought the gates of Agra
A smoky bazaar in Kandahar, Seems destiny had other plans for me.
Chorus:
Radio Taliban
Ahhh Afghanistan
Guitar Solo
I remember the fire of the Afghan night
bouncing off the minarets, I heard the faithful pray
Cheers and shouts and lots of laughs on this most happy day
We won the war , we're going home , everything looks good
Chorus
