Seth's Song
That boy down the hall says he leaves early fall
And he swears he'll come back a changed man
His high school dreams were colored in Army green
And he's headed straight for over seas, oh yeah
He wakes up at 3 am
Straps on his boots, he's out the door again
He says goodbye to his family, his kid
And they all pray he comes back home again, oh yeah
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
He stands out on that corner every day
Just begs for a stranger to give him a break
He don't mean in your pocket, when he says that he wants change
All he wants is to feel okay
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
5150 now he's on the phone
Just tryin' not to feel alone
He don't mean where he grew up, when he says he wants to go home
He's on the edge, and says God only knows
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
Yeah and he gave his life for the red, white, and blue
And he swears he'll come back a changed man
His high school dreams were colored in Army green
And he's headed straight for over seas, oh yeah
He wakes up at 3 am
Straps on his boots, he's out the door again
He says goodbye to his family, his kid
And they all pray he comes back home again, oh yeah
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
He stands out on that corner every day
Just begs for a stranger to give him a break
He don't mean in your pocket, when he says that he wants change
All he wants is to feel okay
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
5150 now he's on the phone
Just tryin' not to feel alone
He don't mean where he grew up, when he says he wants to go home
He's on the edge, and says God only knows
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
Yeah and he gave his life for the red, white, and blue
