Back in the Sand

When you turn 18 they're gonna kick you out

You'll get a couple months notice in case you wanna leave town

And you'll sign your name on the dotted line

And swear you wanna serve your country but it's a lie

Cause you ain't got nowhere to go

And you say well there ain't no jobs back home

Your baby tries to understand

Cause she knows you may not come back from the sand

When the bombs go off you don't blink an eye

It's not like you can leave until you bide your time

And with nothing much to lose you really do stand out

All the city kids start running when you come around

And you ain't got nowhere to go

And you say that you gave up long ago

Your baby tries to understand

Cause she knows you may not come back from the sand

You ain't got nowhere to go

And you say that you gave up long ago

Your baby tries to understand

Cause she knows you may not come back from the sand

And this isn't quite exactly what you planned

Just another day

Just another day

Just another day until you're back in the sand
