Say goodbye to your family
Say goodbye to your friends
Say goodbye to the homeland
That you may never see again.
Like so many before you
You’ll do another tour
But you’re not sure who you’re fighting
Or what you’re fighting for.
Tonight you’ll be saying goodbyes
Wiping tears from their eyes
Tomorrow you have to fight
But you’re with family to-night.
You fought for your country
And you fought for your God
Now you can’t find your feelings
And you can’t find a job.
Though you’re tired of the fighting
You still return for more
And you’ll always make a living
‘cause there will always be a war.
Tonight you’ll be saying goodbyes
Wiping tears from their eyes
Tomorrow you have to fight
But you’re with family to-night.
Say goodbye to your family
Say goodbye to your friends
Say goodbye to the homeland
That you may never see again.
Tonight you’ll be saying goodbyes
Wiping tears from your eyes
Tomorrow you have to fight
But you’re with family tonight.
