Me and guys are attacking the caravan again

Again, sister, I'm sending you my warmest regards
But I haven't been getting any letters from home for some reason
If they ask you what I'm writing about, tell them lies
Just don't tell mom...
If they ask you, what I'm writing about, tell them lies
Just don't tell mom I'm at war
