I'm in the far off desert
Of a violent foreign land
Weeping, sneaking, creeping
A frightened John Wayne man
In the shadows hiding
Waiting to take their shot
family photo in my pocket
Thats all Ive really got
Friends falling out around me
Wounded, bleeding, lost
We do what the white house tells us
My God how much it cost!
CHORUS:
Im bleeding on the inside
Where no one else can see
Turning churning inside
My pain a mystery
Shells exploding
World imploding
What else can I say?
Im just one of the walking wounded
Struggling day to day
Struggling day to day
Verse 2
Someday Ill get to go back
And live in my home town
Hold my wife and children
And wear the heros crown
Ride in a drop top Mustang
Along the parade route
Listening to all the folks
Wave and scream and shout
But deep inside theres darkness
Where the nightmares dwell
My bodys home in heaven
But my minds patrolling hell
CHORUS:
Im bleeding on the inside
Where no one else can see
Turning churning inside
My pain a mystery
Shells exploding
World imploding
What else can I say?
Im just one of the walking wounded
Struggling day to day
Struggling day to day
