I met my enemy today
Baby sends the little one out to play
Enemy shot two of my buddies down
Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round

By my post, I'm standing guard
Baby hopes for roses in the front yard
I don't know my enemy's name
Baby takes the little one to a baseball game

Why am I in this God forsaken place?
Baby washes the dirt off the little one's face
Ten year olds in the killing fields
Baby's planning the weekly meals

Bodies in a muddy ditch
Baby's got supper to fix
My buddy's got a hole in his head
Baby's gettin' the little one ready for bed

Today I shot my enemy
Baby gives the little one a hug for me
Both my buddy's legs got blown off
Baby tends to the little one's cough

I stare down the barrel of a gun
Baby's out to have some fun
I hear ringing in my ears
Baby's face is all wet with tears
