My name is private Hannah, I'm just a poor kid from Savannah,I've been a scrapper ever since I was a boy.I joined the army when I could to protect my neighbourhoodfrom those who hate the freedoms I enjoy.And when we got the call,when Baghdad had to fall;I pledged my true allegiance right out loud.I kissed my only sonI said: "Boy, now you're the one.Don't cry. Just make your papa proud."Now it's me can't keep the tears from coming downWhen I see Old Glory flying from the church in my hometown"Welcome back to the USA"when the plane touched down I heard the captain sayI see the proof of what I did in every mother, every kidliving to be free another daySongtexteWelcome back to the USAJust in time to watch New Orleans wash away.On a 14 inch black and white,under dim florescent light,in a cold and moldy room in the V.A.Welcome back to the USAMy name is Corporal Blackand I finally made it backto a country that forever shall be free.They sent us after Saddamand by the grace of God, we got him.But not before a roadside bomb got me.I was watching from abovewhen my lifetime's only lovetold the twins what happened to their dadI couldn't hold them as they criedasked the spirit by my side"If this is Heaven, how come it hurts so bad"But I'm proud I got to sacrifice my lifeto make this country safer for my children and my wife.Welcome back to the USAThanks for fighting for the right and American waySometimes it takes a bigger man,to do what he don't understand,hope the truth will come to him someday.Welcome back to the USALower the coffin, fire the cannon, walk away.But a thousand troops, a thousand flagsFrom Pendleton, Lejeune and BraggAre here to greet a new one every dayWhere silently we'll say:"Welcome back to the USA" Aus Songtexte Mania
