Soldiers Get Strange lyrics

[Verse 1]
You want her to try new things
She reminds you she wears your ring
And after a couple drinks
She's a little scared of you

[Verse 2]
A good friend is hard to find
You wish you could spend more time
Towing civilian lines
But they're all scared of you

[Chorus]
It's not the time that makes it go bad
It's not the thought of what you could've had
It's not the way that her figure has changed
It's just that a soldier gets strange

[Verse 3]
You know she's a real good girl
She reminds you that every curl
That whips in the wind of the world
Is watched by the eyes of God

[Verse 4]
But lately, your mane's gone white
You itch in your veins in the night
Before you came home alright
You wielded the lightning rod
[Chorus]
And it ain't the time that made it go south
It ain't the liquor that burns in your mouth
Nearly nothing around here's changed
It's just that a soldier gets strange

[Bridge]
She turns off the lights, so you can't see her body
You can't make her fight when you know that you're wrong
They call you a hero, so many still fighting
This ain't where you belong

[Verse 5]
Maybe you'll re-enlist
It couldn't be worse than this
But think of the things you'll miss
If you're inside the wire again

[Chorus]
It's not the dreams that keep you up late
It's not the world you saw incinerate
It's not the way that her figure has changed
It's just that a soldier gets strange

[Outro]
Most of all, you got strange
