Looking back on those last year with the wolves in the pasture 
     D                  A              E      D 
But looking back I kept asking, but I got no home

But I heard the truth there in a song and it sounded then twenty-one gone 
      D               A                      E       D 
Then folding up that flag and putting in my daddy's arms
