He was my hero, on that stormy night
Wish I‘d done more in that fire fight
Should have been me, it could of been me
He pushed me away, I wish it been me
My heart hurts can’t think at all
The tears are here but they won’t fall
Oh where are you honey, not feeling too sunny
I just don’t know why he had to go
Maybe a new truck will help my pain
Some chocolate chips or … cocaine
A trip to Cabo or smoke more pot
Gotta fill this hole where he got shot
Stuck in this sand, done my share of harm
Ain’t coming back baby, fifth tour’s a charm
This war’s been hell, its eating our lunch
I’m coming home baby, God I miss him so much
Been home sometime now, sleep comes in small
Waitress knows to give me, the chair against the wall
Walk around my town checking all the doors
Roof tops and the alleys / I can’t do this any more
People drive so crazy here, they just got to cease
Don’t get too close now, I just want my peace
A’int no truck gonna help my pain
No chocolate chips or … cocaine
No trip to Cabo or smoke more pot
Gotta fill this hole with my Soul
