Almost a year
Paul Joski copyright 2006


Sometimes I can only be friends for a day at a time
I can only write letters to home, if I choose the right lines
It’s been almost a year
I’ve been stationed right here
And I’m thinkin’ that soon it’s just time to come home

Driving a HumVee through Baghdad, it keeps me awake
One can only imagine the cost, the toll this may take
It’s almost a year
Looks like freedom’s near
And I’m thinkin’ that soon it’s just time to come home


CH
And we survive, caught in time
Slappin’ me upside the face
And we survive, a fragging mine
Put me back into my place
God forbid that this is my place

I can only be friends for a day at a time
(instrumental)
So many years
So many tears
And I’m thinkin’ that soon it’s just time to come home

CH
And we survive, caught in time
Slappin’ me upside the face
And we survive, another fragging mine
Put me back into my place
God forbid that this is my place:
