Homefront

I came home ready
For one hell of a fight
With a thousand rounds
Still echoing all night
Somewhere in Arkansas,
My truck found fifth gear
And I punched that pedal down
Til the Ozarks disappeared
You can only live so long
On anger and beer
Talking with your demons
While your friends all disappear
And you won’t survive too long
Just waiting to die
But you can bet
I’m damn sure gonna try
On the homefront
Sweet Elizabeth you were right
There ain’t no homefront
Even if I drive this interstate all night
Oh, the homefront
C’mon baby don’t give me up
Cuz I got no homefront
I got no homefront
The day she left me
She woke me up at dawn
Laid down beside me
With her head upon my arm and said
“You look behind you, baby,
One too many times,
You’ll spend your whole life
Behind enemy lines.”
On the homefront
Sweet Elizabeth you were right
There ain’t no homefront
Even if I drive this interstate all night
Oh, the homefront
C’mon baby don’t give me up
Cuz I got no homefront
I got no homefront
Somewhere on this highway
Is the soul of every man
Who ever left his girl behind
To go off to foreign lands
You say you see a stranger
When you look into my eyes
But I know that you could love him if you tried
I came home ready
For one hell of a fight
With a thousand rounds
Still echoing all night
Lord, deliver me down this highway in the dirt
Away from all of the people that I’ve hurt
On the homefront
Sweet Elizabeth you were right
There ain’t no homefront
Even if I drive this interstate all night
Oh, the homefront
C’mon Elizabeth take my hand
We’ll drive the blacktop
Down into the promised land
Be my homefront
I don’t know why I broke your heart
But i can make it whole again
If you can tell me where to start
Oh, the homefront
C’mon baby don’t give me up
Cuz I got no homefront
I got no homefront
