Feel the clock beat on your back
As you pack your bag
You wonder if your sanity
Is something you ever had
And you wonder how the darkness
Panting at your door
Could drive a man to turn his back
And run for other shores
Pull your coat around your throat
But you just cant fight them back
The guns, the tears, the whistling fears
As the future fades to black
And the things you love begin to fade
Though you try to hold on
As you grip the sands with aging hands
Til all thats left is gone
When you cant go home
No matter what you say
Cant go home
Theyve gone and took it all away
Cant go home
To taste the dirt is what I yearn
For the ones whove gone, lets sing a song
Never to return
Think on friends and families
And you wonder how they fared
Torn apart forever
By the things you'll never share
Feel the sweat roll down your neck
As you bend from the toil
From white to blue, its what you had to do
For a grave on foreign soil
Of the things we've lost and the things we've gained
The losses fly off the scale
But it's the things we've lost are what haunt us most
The price of distant prison without bail
When you cant go home
No matter what you say
Cant go home
Theyve gone and took it all away
Cant go home
To taste the dirt is what I yearn
For the ones whove gone, lets sing a song
Never to return
