Kabul

I came in a C130

From Ramstein Air Force Base

As the light hit off the mountains

I saw your dusty face

It was supposed to be civilization

But it's really the edge of the world

I fought to find my nation

Instead I found myself.

Oh, yeah.

Kabul, Kabul

Just weighing on my heart

Oh, now… Kabul, Kabul

Point me towards the sun

Stuck to an M16, man

The tracers guide my way

Part of a Band of Brothers

Along the Kandahar Way

Yes, I'm kind of handy

Just trying to do my part

We help the local mullahs

What on earth did we start?

Oh, lord

Kabul, Kabul

Just weighing on my heart

Oh, now… Kabul, Kabul

Point me towards the sun

And there's panic on the airwaves

Because we gave up on the fight

They yell and call us cowards

Do I still have my pride?

Now I'm on the tarmac

Can't wait to leave this place

Maybe sometime I'll look back

And I'll see your forlorn face

What all did we learn from

From this two decade stand?

We saw it all together

In this desert land

Oh, Kabul, Kabul

Just weighing on my heart

Oh, Kabil, Kabul

I knew it from the start
