When I was just a young boy, all my friends they went to war.

And I just stood there asking

What are you goin for?

My best friend he told me, we're all boys just seventeen.

Sign up now, see the world

Taste it"s wine and touch it"s queens.

I just stood there gasping, not a word could I say

Then I caught my breath and shouted

Stop come back theres another way.

I said just stick out your thumbs

They'll take you where you want to go.

And if they dont take you, maybe you weren't supposed to go.



Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go

Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go



Seven years I come back,

Back to that town I had to go

To see my friends I left there

See my friends what they had to show.

I Seen this girl and I had to ask her

Which way would the people be

And she just started laughing

Laughing there right at me

Oooh Mmmm

So I feel no pity people

For the person in the war

If all the people stopped fighting

There would be no war no more.



Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go
