Years ago
Me and Joe
Used to go outside all the time
We're gonna
Grow up strong
And join the army
And live in Texas
Not far from where we were

If I had stayed for a while
I wouldn't have had to run so far away
If I had stayed for a while
I wouldn't have had to run so far away
From home

Jessica dear
I used to think you'd be the one
Who could turn back years
Make me a better man
But you,
You joined the army
And you're out to get me
Your memory has found a way to haunt me

If I had stayed for a while
I wouldn't have had to run so far away
If I had stayed for a while
I wouldn't have had to run so far away
From you

My father, he got
Short changed and
Fucked by the army
But they still salute him
Did you hear what I said, son?
Don't join the army
It's gonna kill me,
It's already killing me

If I had stayed for a while
I wouldn't have had to run so far away
If I had stayed for a while
I wouldn't have had to run so far away
From home

Don't join the army
Don't join the army
Don't join the army
