| Safe Back Home |
| The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band |
| I put on her colors with honor |
| And carried them over the sea |
| To a battle at the mouth of the devil's tunnels |
| Are you safe back home praying for me |
| And do you still use the same words you taught me |
| That you learned at the dear Savior's knee |
| On that sweet mornin' there in the garden |
| And are you safe back home praying for me |
| How long, how long, how long, how long |
| Will the words of this prayer be my hope |
| If it be His will and I'm delivered then we'll |
| All say "Amen" together, I know |
| Solo(Banjo & Guitar) |
| On patrol in the cold of this desert |
| I tremble as I wait for my relief |
| And I picture our circle of family |
| Are you safe back home praying for me |
| How long, how long, how long, how long |
| Will the words of this prayer be my hope |
| If it be His will and I'm delivered then we'll |
| All say "Amen" together, I know |
| How long, how long, how long, how long |
| How long, how long, how long, how long |
| How long, how long, how long, how long |
| How long, how long, how long, how long |
