Lonesome Soldier

when i get home to that mountain, back in eastern tennessee, i'm gonna give that girl a new name, she's been waiting there for me, i've been gone two years december, tryin to make my country proud, i'll be here as long as they need me, but i miss my family and my home
out in the desert there's no rain, there's just loneliness and pain, but our flag flies high in my mind, so i will gladly serve my time
that ol cabin on the hillside, well it's callin out my name, and that girl down in the valley, she thinks of me each time she prays, i've got her picture in my pocket, and i've got sand in my boots, i've got a mission set before me, and i'm goin to follow through
out in the desert there's no rain, there's just loneliness and pain, but our flag flies high in my mind, so i will gladly serve my time
out in the desert there's no rain, there's just loneliness and pain, but our flag flies high in my mind, so i will gladly serve my time
we're gettin closer to a victory, and my hearts in tennessee, and that girl down in the valley, she still waiting there for me
and that girl down in the valley, she's still waiting there for me
