Cowards Sing at Night
[Verse 1]
Distinctions of courage, only cowards sing at night
Human blood sure affirms we are noble by our suffering
I don't believe in exceptionalism
I still have hope for the future
[Chorus]
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
[Verse 2]
Without resolve, you are self-assured
With eager anticipation, you are ready for war
Faith in your fathers and in the family
I hold no regard, I am unapologetic
[Chorus]
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
[Outro]
Your war is over, your war is over
Your war is over, Johnny
Distinctions of courage, only cowards sing at night
Human blood sure affirms we are noble by our suffering
I don't believe in exceptionalism
I still have hope for the future
[Chorus]
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
[Verse 2]
Without resolve, you are self-assured
With eager anticipation, you are ready for war
Faith in your fathers and in the family
I hold no regard, I am unapologetic
[Chorus]
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
Come back home, Johnny, come back home, Johnny
Come back home from Vietnam
[Outro]
Your war is over, your war is over
Your war is over, Johnny
