I got your letter today
\nand I miss you all so much here
\nI can’t wait to see you all
\nand I’m counting the days here <\/p>\n
I still believe that there’s gold
\nat the end of the world
\nAnd I’ll come home to Illinois
\non the day after tomorrow <\/p>\n
It is so hard and it’s cold here
\nand I’m tired of taking orders
\nAnd I miss old Rockford town
\nup by the Wisconsin border <\/p>\n
What I miss, you won’t believe
\nshoveling snow and raking leaves
\nAnd my plane will touch down
\non the day after tomorrow <\/p>\n
I close my eyes every nite
\nand I dream that I can hold you <\/p>\n
They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
\n’bout what it means to be a soldier
\nI still don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
\n’bout all the blood that’s been spilled
\nWill god on this throne
\nget me back home
\non the day after tomorrow <\/p>\n
You can’t deny, the other side
\nDon’t want to die anymore than we do
\nWhat I’m trying to say is don’t they pray
\nto the same god that we do? <\/p>\n
And tell me how does god choose
\nwhose prayers does he refuse?
\nWho turns the wheel
\nWho throws the dice
\non the day after tomorrow <\/p>\n
I’m not fighting, for justice
\nI am not fighting, for freedom
\nI am fighting, for my life
\nand another day in the world here <\/p>\n
I just do what I’ve been told
\nWe’re just the gravel on the road
\nAnd only the lucky ones come home
\non the day after tomorrow <\/p>\n
And the summer, it too will fade
\nand with it brings the winter’s frost dear
\nAnd I know we too are made
\nof all the things that we have lost here <\/p>\n
I’ll be 21 today
\nI been saving all my pay
\nAnd my plane will touch down
\non the day after tomorrow
\nAnd my plane it will touch down
\non the day after tomorrow<\/p>\n
