Coming Back From Afghanistan

Coming Back From Afghanistan

He's rushing back,
running to make it there 
as fast as he can.

Little does he know his 
relationship is in no mans land,
his wife's be screwing 
everything she can
since he went to Afghanistan.

She's been racking up as much debt
as she was able to 
fuel her craving for attention
what the hell, gone is her husband.

Poor guy little does he know, he's running
to the slaughter this former desert lamb.

Life might have been 
easier in Afghanistan!
