Foreign Legion

Now I ... was caught by surprise
I didn't think that you'd get so mad
Now I ... did not realize
Was my boo-boo really so bad

But since you think we're through now
I want no more of you now
These months with you just blew me away
Got to take a trip now
Don't give me any lip, now
No way in hell that I'm going to stay

Chorus:
Foreign Legion, that's where I'll go
As long as I'm so far away from you
Foreign Legion's to be my home
The deserts I will roam now that we are through

Bridge:
No need to stay here no more
Now that you kicked my butt out the door
No need for me to stay here
I ain't going to stay here
Tonight I pack my bags 'cause I'm going to join the Foreign Legion

Now I ... am so sick of you
Your pouting and your crackers in bed
Now I ... am glad that we're through
The memory of you I long to shed

Can't wait to see the sand, now
That barren distant land, now
The sun will burn those memories to dust
A rifle for my side, now
A camel for my ride, now
And memories blow away with the gusts

(Repeat chorus, then bridge, and then chorus)
