Get on Back Home

Got a letter in the mail,
Said go to war or go to jail,
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.

Slapped me down in a barber's chair
Spun me around, I had no hair,
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.

Use to drive a cadilac,
Now I hump it on my back,
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.

Used to be a high school stud,
Now I'm marching in the mud,
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.

Used to wear my faded jeans,
Now I'm wearing army greens,
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.

Used to date a beauty queen,
Now I love my M16,
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.

I don't know why I left,
but I know I done wrong.
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.

Now moma moma don't you cry.
Your little boy ain't gonna die,
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.

Now sister, sister don't you fret.
I haven't met my match yet!
but it won't be long,
till I get on back home.
