Lyrics
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 down the days, dear
I still believe that there is gold
At the end of the world
And I'll come home to Illinois
On the day after tomorrow
It's 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
What I miss, you won't believe
Shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
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
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?
You can't deny the other side
Don't want to die any more than we do
What I'm trying to say is don't they pray
To the same God that we do?
And tell me how does God choose
Whose prayers does He refuse?
Who turns the wheel? Who rolls the dice
On the day after tomorrow?
I'm not fighting for justice
I'm not fighting for freedom
I am just fighting for my life
And another day in this world here
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
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
I'll be twenty-one today
I've been saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
