When You Come Home

And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She wore it for that soldier who was far far away
She wore it for that soldier who was far far away
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide this good
I'll never cry again
When you come home
To me
His baby girl, she's got her daddy's chain on
Mommy's in the same boat but tells to stay strong
Cause he'll be home and when he does, a family
Will be complete, once again gain our sanity
Starin' at the vanity mirror in nothing but a shirt
That reads USMC lonely he got deployed to work
Because there's bills to pay and freedom to uphold
Say's I'm sorry baby but my name was called
And I'm fightin' every day for you
Stay strong we can all pull trough
It's the life of a US soldier
Stars and stripes rifle tags and boots
If it so happens that I have to die
So that flag on the porch can rise
That's the promise of a US soldier
And I would die to make a home for you (for you)
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide this good
I'll never cry again
When you come home
To me
He says I love you as he wraps his arms around his mother
And he just looks his father in the eye as he gathers his luggage
They know what that means they don't need to say it
And needless to say he know every night they'll both be prayin'
And now he's got his family on his mind as he's marchin'
And as he's walkin' he can almost his sister talkin'
And as he raises his rifle and as he gets to fightin'
He thinks about his little brother who
Wants to be just like him so he proves it's not the bonuses
It's not about the checks, it's about the buildings and the jets
A country to protect, it's about the courage and pride providing peace and grace
Even though it's been 365 since they've seen his face
But they will never forget and he will never break because
They are the reason that he puts his life at stake
We think about you spiritually and we missin' you visibly
You're an army of one cause we love you individually (individually)
I adore you, I cant undo just where you'll be
This goes out to all of our soldiers
Past present and future
And all of those loved ones of our soldiers
We didn't forget about y'all
Out there in Afghanistan
I'll stop this, we'll see you when your back safe with me
All y'all still in Iraq
We love y'all, we'll be here waitin' when you get back
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide this good
I'll never cry again
When you come home
To me
We salute you
