about

written during the spring of 2006 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin about a fictional soldier writing home from Vietnam

lyrics

Oh, ma, I write to you now,
from a place at the bottom of things.
It's great little Susie has started school now,
I can imagine the excitement that brings.

Don't worry about me, ma,
I'm doing just fine.
They keep us fed well and warm.
At night time there's hardly a cloud in the sky,
and I forget that my boots are outworn.

(chorus)
Oh ma, I miss you all so much,
but I know there's a job to be done.
It's hard to describe the things that we done here,
and I don't know at what price they'll come.

Well, ma, it's getting late,
and we have to be up at dawn.
We'll march until sunset and then sit and wait,
and I'm only on day 61.

(chorus)

about
