Day After Tomorrow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got your letter today And I miss you all so much here I can't wait to see you all And I'm counting the days here [Chorus] I still believe that there's gold At the end of the world And I'll come home to Illinois On the day after tomorrow [Verse 2] It is so hard and it's cold here And I'm tired of taking orders And I miss old Rockford town Up by the Wisconsin border [Chorus] What I miss, you won't believe Shoveling snow and raking leaves And my plane will touch down On the day after tomorrow [Verse 3] I close my eyes every night And I dream that I can hold you They fill us full of lies, everyone buys About what it means to be a soldier [Chorus] I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel About all the blood that's been spilled Will God on his throne get me back home On the day after tomorrow? [Verse 4] You can't deny, the other side Don't want to die anymore than we do What I'm trying to say is, don't they pray To the same God that we do? [Chorus] Tell me how does God choose Whose prayers does he refuse? Who turns the wheel? Who throws the dice On the day after tomorrow? [Verse 5] I am not fighting for justice I am not fighting for freedom I am fighting for my life And another day in the world here [Chorus] I just do what I've been told We're just the gravel on the road And only the lucky ones come home On the day after tomorrow [Verse 6] And the summer, it too will fade And with it brings the winter's frost, dear And I know we too are made Of all the things that we have lost here [Chorus] I'll be twenty-one today I been saving all my pay And my plane will touch down On the day after tomorrow And my plane, it will touch down On the day after tomorrow
