[00:00.430]
[00:00.680]I got your letter today
[00:07.430]And I miss you all so much here
[00:14.368]I can't wait to see you all
[00:20.368]And I'm counting the days here
[00:27.618]
[00:27.868]I still believe that there's gold
[00:32.618]At the end of the world
[00:36.369]And I'll come home to Illinois
[00:42.869]
[00:43.119]On the day after tomorrow
[00:53.369]It is so hard and it's cold here
[00:59.368]And I'm tired of taking orders
[01:04.869]And I miss old Rockford town
[01:09.119]Up by the Wisconsin border
[01:14.869]
[01:16.567]What I miss, you won't believe
[01:21.317]Shovelling snow and raking leaves
[01:26.771]And my plane will touch down
[01:32.771]On the day after tomorrow
[01:43.771]
[01:44.021]I close my eyes every night
[01:50.271]And I dream that I can hold you
[01:55.521]
[01:55.772]They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
[02:02.022]'Bout what it means to be a soldier
[02:08.022]I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
[02:13.021]'Bout all the blood that's been spilled
[02:20.521]Will god on this throne
[02:23.271]Get me back home
[02:26.021]On the day after tomorrow
[02:36.272]
[02:36.272]You can't deny, the other side
[02:41.772]Don't want to die anymore then we do
[02:49.273]What I'm trying to say is don't they pray
[02:55.772]To the same god that we do?
[03:02.772]
[03:03.022]And tell me how does god choose?
[03:08.273]Whose prayers does he refuse?
[03:14.476]Who turns the wheel?
[03:17.476]Who throws the dice?
[03:20.227]On the day after tomorrow
[03:56.981]
[03:57.227]I am not fighting, for justice
[04:02.727]I am not fighting, for freedom
[04:08.979]I am fighting, for my life
[04:14.977]And another day in the world here
[04:22.727]
[04:22.727]I just do what I've been told
[04:27.478]We're just the gravel on the road
[04:33.977]And only the lucky ones come home
[04:40.227]On the day after tomorrow
[04:51.227]
[04:51.478]And the summer, it too will fade
[04:56.477]And with it brings the winter's frost dear
[05:03.977]And I know we too are made
[05:08.727]Of all the things that we have lost here
[05:16.478]
[05:16.478]I'll be 21 today
[05:21.229]I been saving all my pay
[05:27.727]And my plane will touch down
[05:32.926]On the day after tomorrow
[05:40.426]And my plane it will touch down
[05:45.676]On the day after tomorrow
