"Off To War" lyrics

"Off To War"

Don't cry mother dear, your boy has left you for a couple of years
He's packed his bags, packed in his courage
Put away his fears and stepped into the unknown
And postpone all complications, yeah

A kiss goodbye and an upset stomach sends me on my way
What I believe, it gets me by, it gets me through the days
Tears fall and puddles form and days without an end
Determination never building, the war has just begun

And it's one, two, three four, boys are marching out to war
Four, three, two, one, they won't stop 'til it's all done
And it's a left, right, steadfast
Fast to the field with their destiny sealed
Right, left, two-step, off to the plane and the men come home

Oh... don't you cry for me
Oh... I'm coming home to your arms

One, two, three, four, take the lead and I'll follow you
You're a man with a plan, I'm a pawn in your hand
Piece to be played, sacrifice to be made
It's my fate in your hands

With my brothers by my side, form a line, shoulders tight
I will push the right, oh will you push the left-right
If one man falls they don't move 'til he's up
A one-man unit at the wrist, our handcuff
It's handcuff

And it's one, two, three four, boys are marching out to war
Four, three, two, one, they won't stop 'til it's all done
And it's a left, right, steadfast
Fast to the field with their destiny sealed
Right, left, two-step, off to the plane and the men come home

Oh... don't you cry for me
Oh... I'm coming home to your arms
Oh... don't you cry for me
Oh... I'm coming home to your arms

And it's one, two, three four, boys are marching out to war
Four, three, two, one, they won't stop 'til it's all done
And it's a left, right, steadfast
Fast to the field with their destiny sealed
Right, left, two-step, off to the plane and the men go home
