Jason Isbell - Tour Of Duty lyrics

I'm arriving on the day's last train
Stepping on the platform
Trying to see you through the rain
I don't know the ways you've
Changed since I left and I really don't care
I've done my tour of duty now I'm
Home and I ain't going anywhere
I taught myself to tolerate the pain
All the loneliness and boredom and the
Work I did in vain
All the work we did in vain now
I'm not the same as I was
I've done my tour of duty now I'll
Try to do what a civilian does
I promise not to bore you with my stories
I promise not to scare you with my tears
I never would exaggerate the glory
I'll seem so satisfied here
I've been eating like I'm out on bail
Collard greens and chicken wings and
Oysters by the pail
Eating oysters by the pail
Making up for those lost days
I've done my tour of duty now I'm going
To put you in the family way
We'll laugh like little
Children telling secrets
Probably cry like old women drinking gin
Because I've done my tour of
Duty now I'm home
And I ain't leaving here again
I've done my tour of duty now I'm
Home and I ain't leaving here again
