Still Ain't Made It Home Lyrics

Me and some guys I served with over there in desert hell
Got together a while back, everybody's doin' pretty well
Sanchez had a couple new tattoos, Price is a computer nerd
Somebody asked about T-Bone, I said the last I heard

He made it back like the rest of us
He put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up
But when you see things no one should see
Sometimes the guy you used to be
Has to fight a battle of his own
He made it back but he still ain't made it home

He went back to Connie, you know they're from Counsil Bluffs
She told me she still loves him but it's been pretty tough
Says he's not sleeping, drinking heavy, spends too much time alone
Until she sees that smile she knows she'll leave that porch light on

He made it back like the rest of us
He put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up
But when you see things no one should see
Sometimes the guy you used to be
Has to fight a battle of his own
He made it back but he still ain't made it home

We raised a glass
Said, "Boys, let's not forget
Just 'cause you're not bleeding
Don't mean you ain't been hit

He made it back like the rest of us
He put his rifle down and tried to pick his life back up
But when you see things no one should see
Sometimes the guy you used to be
Has to fight a battle of his own
He made it back but he still ain't made it home
Yeah, he made it back but he still ain't made it home
