You want her to try new things She reminds you she wears your ring And after a couple drinks Shes a little scared of you A good friend is hard to find You wish you could spend more time Towing civilian lines But theyre all scared of you Its not the time that makes it go bad Its not the thought of what you couldve had Its not the way that her figure has changed Its just that a soldier gets strange You know shes a real good girl She reminds you that every curl That whips in the wind of the world Is watched by the eyes of God But lately your manes gone white You itch in your veins in the night Before you came home alright You wielded the lightning rod It aint the time that makes it go south It aint the liquor that burns in your mouth Nearly nothing around heres changed Its just that a soldier gets strange She turns off the lights, so you cant see her body You cant make her fight when you know that youre wrong They call you a hero, so many still fighting This aint where you belong Maybe youll reenlist It couldnt be worse than this But think of the things youll miss If youre inside the wire again Its not the dreams that keep you up late Its not the world you saw incinerate Its not the way that her figure has changed Its just that a soldier gets strange Most of all, you got strange
