Distinctions of courage, only cowards sing at night
Human virtue affirmed, we are ennobled by our suffering
I don't believe in exceptionalism
I still have hope for the future
Come back home, Johnny
Come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Without resolve you are self-assured
With eager anticipation you are ready for a war
Faith in your fathers, honor thy family
I hold no regard, I am unapologetic
Come back home, Johnny
Come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Your war is over
Your war is over
Your war is over, Johnny
