Well the notice arrived today
Gotta pack my bags 'cause soon I'm on my way
'Cause even though I've been to Iraq
Seems that now they are calling me back
And even though this ain't my war
When I signed on that line I knew the score
Honey please dry your eyes
Honey won't you realize
That this is something that I've just gotta do
There's a country that I've got a duty to
Please don't worry, don't feel blue
Soon I'm comin' right back home to you
Well here I am after a year
I've kept your letters which I hold so dear
They tell me I'll be going home in June
So get ready 'cause I'm coming home soon
And tell our daughter that I miss her so
And that I love her more than she'll ever know
These boots don't walk no more
They're all that's left of me after the war
At the wrong place at the wrong time
Thoughts of you were all that flashed through my mind
And though I couldn't keep my promise to you
I'm up in heaven lookin' down on you
