Lyrics
I'm going home for the summer
I'm getting out soon as I can
I want to leave these strange surroundings
I don't belong here as I am
I want to be back with my family
I want my hopes to stay up high
It's been so long since I last saw them
I want to go before I die
I didn't ask to go out fighting
They pushed a gun into my hand
Said go on out make like a hero
For what purpose I don't understand
And when I saw the blood and slaughter
I knelt right down and I just cried
I've had as much as I can stand Lord
Forgive me for those men who died
INSTRUMENTAL
I'm going home for the summer
Been getting out for oh so long
But I don't think I'm gonna make it
My spirits dead my soul has gone
