Songs from Home
SONGS FROM HOME
He was on a dusty road half a world away
on a mountain fightin through the day
It was hard keepin warm but easy gettin lonely
and harder bein there every day....but he found a way
In his mind he was sitting on his back porch pickin'on
an old country gentlemen tune
til the sounds of the war brought him back to the mountain
and the job he was sent there to do...but got him
through
were songs from home they kept him goin
reminded him what he's fighting for
songs from home it helped him knowin
one day soon he'll be done with war and headed
home
He was six months gone away from his home and
family
for the third time in just two years
The worst time was at night when everything got quiet
and the silence ringing in his ears...made him face his
fears
Would he ever make it home could this day be his last
was he different from what he'd seen and done
would the nightmares go away when he got home to stay
or would they haunt him til his dyin day..he really
couldn't say
The first two times were tough, but this time was
enough
ya can't watch your kids grow up from so far away
he's proud he served his land and he'd do it all again
but it's time to trade his gun for and old guitar
and songs from home
Songs from home they kept him going
reminded him what he's fightin for
songs from home it helped him knowing
one day soon he'll be done with war and headed
home
