Linda Thompson - Day After Tomorrow lyrics

I got your letter today And I miss you all so much here I can't wait to see you all And I'm counting the days here I still believe that there's gold At the end of the world And I'll come home to Illinois On the day after tomorrow It's hard and it's cold here And I'm tired of taking orders And I miss old Rockford town Up by the Wisconsin border What I miss, you won't believe Shoveling snow and raking leaves And my plane will touch down On the day after tomorrow I close my eyes every night And I dream that I can hold you They fill us full of lies, everyone buys 'Bout what it means to be a soldier Don't know how I'm supposed to feel 'Bout all the blood that's been spilled Will God on this throne get me back home On the day after tomorrow You can't deny the other side Don't want to die anymore then we do What I mean to say is don't they pray To the same God that we do? Tell me how does God choose Whose prayers does he refuse? Who turns the key, who rolls the dice On the day after tomorrow I'm not fighting for justice I am not fighting for freedom I'm just fighting for my life here And another day in the world, dear I just do what I've been told We're just the gravel on the road And only the lucky ones come home On the day after tomorrow And the summer, it too will fade And with it brings the winter's frost dear And I know we too are made Of all the things that we've lost here I'll be 21 today Been saving all my pay And my plane, it will touch down On the day after tomorrow
