FI got your Cletter FtodaCy
Fand I Cmiss you Fall so Gmuch here
FI can't Cwait to Fsee you Call
Fand I'm Ccounting the Fdays Ghere
I still Fbelieve that there's Cgold
at the Amend of the Fworld
And FI'll come Chome Fto IlliCnois
Fon the Cday aFfter toGmorrowC  
It is so hard and it's cold here
and I'm tired of taking orders
And I miss old Rockford town
up by the Wisconsin border
What I miss, you won't believe
shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow
I close my eyes every nite
and I dream that I can hold you
They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
'bout what it means to be a soldier
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
'bout all the blood that's been spilled
Will god on this throne
get me back home
on the day after tomorrow
You can't deny, the other side
Don't want to die anymore then we do
What I'm trying to say is don't they pray
to the same god that we do?
And tell me how does god choose
whose prayers does he refuse?
Who turns the wheel
Who throws the dice
on the day after tomorrow
I'm not fighting, for justice
I am not fighting, for freedom
I am fighting, for my life
and another day in the world here
I just do what I've been told
We're just the gravel on the road
And only the lucky ones come home
on the day after tomorrow
And the summer, it too will fade
and with it brings the winter's frost dear
And I know we too are made
of all the things that we have lost here
I'll be 21 today
I been saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow
And my plane it will touch down
on the day after tomorrow

It is so hard and it's cold here

and I'm tired of taking orders

And I miss old Rockford town

What I miss, you won't believe

shoveling snow and raking leaves

And my plane will touch down

I close my eyes every nite

and I dream that I can hold you

They fill us full of lies, everyone buys

'bout what it means to be a soldier

I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel

'bout all the blood that's been spilled

Will god on this throne

get me back home

Don't want to die anymore then we do
