Back Home In Tennessee Written By Billy Simons © 2010 We've spilled our share of blood on desert soil And you're well within your right to blame it on the oil Though I guess it's hard for you to understand What our lives are like out here in the sand It'll be another year before I leave And it's so hot at times I can barely breathe The people here have all been good to me Just like the folks back home in Tennessee I'm just a simple Chattanooga boy Enlisted out of high school, eager to deploy And before I knew it I was on a plane Overcome by a steady stream of rain When we took off I heard an awful roar But it's not as though I've ever flown before And out the window I could plainly see That clear blue sky back home in Tennessee Each time I hear a rocket overhead I can't help but think that somewhere, someone's dead I write emails home that I never send And deep inside, I wish this war would end I lost a friend about a month ago It messed me up but I never let it show I'm glad the people here are living free But I miss my life back home in Tennessee I'm afraid to get to close to anyone My best friends are my music and my gun It's a lonely place when the lights go down I've lost my way and it's nowhere to be found It's hard to know who and what to trust When a caravan of strangers emerges from the dust But when the Lord decides to call for me Please bury me back home in Tennessee Yeah, please bury me back home in Tennessee
