Gee, Ma, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
Oh, the soldiers in the army, we know they're mighty fine
And the Navy, Air Force and Marines keep us all in line
But I don't want no more of this military life
Gee, Ma, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
Now I know a whole bunch of you are stuck out there somewhere you don't wanna be
And there ain't no feeling in this world worse than being homesick
Can I get a ma'am, yes, ma'am on that?
I figured so
And I know you know this little song
It helps you march in time and pass some time
And I know you know at least a thousand versions of it
But I wrote a few new verses I thought you might a get a kick out of
You ain't heard these
Oh, the vittles in the mess hall, they say they're mighty fine
But that shite on a shingle? Why, I think I'll give you mine
Oh, I don't want no more of this military life
Gee, Ma, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go back home
Back where civilians roam
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
Well, now, I tried to join the army
They said my feet were flat
And since I can not see them
I'll take their word for that
Hey, I'm just tryna be funny
Lord knows we can use a sense of humor this day and time
And I never will forget the day that the president said
"My fellow Americans, we're goin' to war with Iraq"
And I thought, "Now, I know our boys are tough"
"But at least let's give 'em guns and a tank or two"
Hey, and did you see where they put the most wanted Iraqis in a deck of cards?
That's the first time I've ever seen a deck with all jokers
And did you see where Bin Laden hides in a cave and tells people to be suicide bombers?
How about practicing what you preach?
Oh, gee, Ma, I wanna go home
'Course I ain't done talking yet
I hardly ever am
My husband says, me and my mama are a lot alike
He says, we ain't hard of hearin' just hard of listening
Speaking of Mama, she just hears what she wants to
One night, we was watching TV and she said
"Now that Saddam can't be all bad"
"I heard 'em say he is a baptist"
I said, "No, Mama, they said he was a Baathist, that's the name of his party"
She said, "Now don't try to tell me the baptists don't party"
I said, " Well gee, Ma, you got a point"
Hey, what can you say, it's your mama
Gee, Ma, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
Now, I wrote osme other verses
Got one here about Saddam
Oh, the mother of all battles is what Saddam had planned
Well, he shoulda sent his mother 'cause his troops all turned and ran
Oh, I don't want no more of this military life
Gee, Ma, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
We don't need to be letting the brass of so easy
Oh, the generals in the army don't fight like all the rest
But you should have seen them fight to pin this medal on my chest
Yeah, these are my two secret weapons
Shock and awe
Sorry, guys
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go back home
Back where civilians roam
Where my rules are all my own
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
Home
Try singing with that guys
(Come on, guys, let's go home)
Let's do go home
And stay there
I love the sound of that old church bell
Church was a big part of my life growing up
My grandpa was a pentecostal preacher and
I learned to sing in church
To me there's nothing more beautiful than those old hymns
And the voices of family, friends and neighbours singing from the bottom of their hearts
About grace and peace and love
And no matter how hard life is
Or how big our problem gets
God stands right beside us
Whispering hope
But they won't let me go
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
Oh, the soldiers in the army, we know they're mighty fine
And the Navy, Air Force and Marines keep us all in line
But I don't want no more of this military life
Gee, Ma, I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home
