My Lyrics
remember when we / nah, me too / days run together / like water and booze / keep thinkin i'll wake up / but the sun never shows / guess we'll try tomorrow / see how it goes
...but I keep tellin' myself that... (lead up to chorus)
...and I keep tellin myself (lead up to chorus)
last week seems so long ago / today seemed so far away / ev'ything changed in the blink of an eye / dropped out of the blue clear sky / can't go back to the life we had before
had so many / tomorrows in my today / missed so many right nows / that are back in yesterday
the years they flew by /began to finally understand / life ain’t the same as livin’/ when we’re walking all alone /you’ve stood by me / now I get honor you / with all the love that’s in my heart / and in the words of this song
the sea goes on forever / except when it’s your home / I’ll take you back to the place /our journey first began / to carry you upon my back is not a heavy load / but grief and heartache weighs me down / on this endless road
that’s the story I’ve heard / since I was a boy / don’t really remember / but I know it’s true /
I’ve seen how you look at me / always been there / now that I’m grown / I get to repay and care/ for you
tired and weary / into the wind and through the storms / ya held me tightly in your arms / you protected me
the seasons changed / and with them so did I / the mountains called me / back where I began / to learn the truth / of my father and my land / to find my people and the magic in their song
seasons changed / Summer died to Fall / the earth howled and whispered / you held me through it all /
4) you didn’t have to / but did it anyway / the mystery_________ / of a mother’s love lifted me / like the waves to safety / in your arms. You carried me.
it didn’t take /too long before/ started walking on my own / stayed close to you awhile / but then began to roam
grew restless and started / walkin on my own / stayed close for awhile and began to roam /
Living in my broken heart / are memories of you / sharing stories with our son / the dad he never knew
His dogtag has been smoothed and worn / by my hands and tears /
Touched so many times each day / to pray away my fears
you’ll never hear him talk about / that day in ’44 / when love showed up as courage / and saved me in the war
parked in front / where you grew up / just like you described/
to give your mom the envelope / says “open if I die”
The wheels touch down at Dover / sacred, holy ground /
silent warriors are carried / from the plane without a sound
I never knew my angel / would be covered in tattoos /
You told me that I'd be alright / and I could count on you
Squeeze our eyes/
Against the smoke and dust /
and the ringing in our ears /
they said it was an honor / to make this final flight / but I can’t bear to face your mom / at Dover late tonight.
Scuffed and scratched / can barely read / your name and date you left /
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years / since we fought and bled /
Don’t give up / hang on tight /together we'll get through / Just reach out / grab my hand / I will carry you /
He moves a little slower now / shoulders stooped with age / this old body that served him well /Has now become a cage /
mouth is dry and gritty / from the heat and dust / canteen’s empty / feet are raw / sweat is mixed with blood
I heard you screaming /
I ran toward the sound /
And picked up your body/
off of the ground
You say that you got this and /
You’re doin’ fine /
your eyes tell the truth /
but your lips keep on lyin’ /
Scuffed and scratched / can barely read / your name and date you left /
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years / since we fought and bled /
This bracelet and my mem’ries / a tombstone on my wrist / in honor of my brother /
With angels may you rest.
“Remember when you” trails off / realize you can’t hear / from the belly of this plane / taking you back home / they said it was an honor / to make this final flight / but I can’t bear to face your mom / at Dover late tonight.
Just reach out / grab my hand / together we’ll get through /
Don’t give up / hang on tight / I will shoulder you /
We never leave / a man behind / together til the end /
We’re a tribe / a family / your brother and your friend
We started out together / together we will end / words can’t describe / the hell we’ve seen / that forged our bond, my friend / through fire we walked / and sometimes fell / but always made it through / we both said so many times / “I will carry you”
He moves a little slower now / shoulders stooped with age / this old body that has served him well /
Has now become a cage / you’ll never hear him talk about / that day in ’44 / when love showed up as courage / and saved me in the war
We started together / but I fell behind / I let down my brothers / wounded my pride /
stumbling and thirsty / fear grips my heart /Their outlines grow small / we drift further apart /
alone and afraid / from the dark he appears with eyes that are kind / my brother you know we leave no man behind
mouth is dry and gritty / from the heat and dust / canteen’s empty / feet are raw / sweat is mixed with blood / ten miles in / ten to go / before we take our place / in killing men that we don’t know / in this God forgotten space.
He held the lamb in his arms / and held it oh so tight / he carried and protected you / through storms and through the night /He made a promise / you're not alone / He will carry you / all the way home //
His angels were commanded / to guard all of your ways / they lift you with their mighty hands / bring peace to all your days.
O'Malley's from Ohio, the 5th of 7 kids / Vargas' was a doctor's boy south of San Antone / Smitty came from Georgia, he never knew his dad / now they're sons of Mother Green in Jalalabad
O'Malley's from Ohio, the 5th of 7 boys / Vargas' was a doctor's kid from south of San Antone / Smitty came from Georgia, he never knew his dad / now they're sons of Mother Green in Jalalabad
A single one of Daddy’s steps / Was three of my own / On the long cracked sidewalk / as we headed home / pretty soon I lagged behind / He was far ahead / Dad slowed down and turned around / then he gently said /
We were just like brothers /
sorta not the same /
I called you a Jarhead /
You never used my name /
When I heard you scream “hey Doc!” /
I ran toward the sound /
And picked your broken body/
Up off of the ground
One of Daddy’s steps /
Was three of my own /
On the cracked sidewalk /
All the way back home /
Didn’t take long ‘til I lagged behind /
He was far I ahead /
As I sat down crying /
Then Daddy turned back /
And gently said /
“I can carry you”
You say that you got this and /
You’re doin’ fine /
But your eyes tell the truth /
While your mouth keeps on lyin’ /
A big pull of whiskey /
Gun under your chin /
Bravely afraid of /
The ultimate sin
They got no idea /
Things I’ve been through /
They can’t understand /
The things that I do /
I get knocked down /
And stand up again /
God only knows /
When this will end
Just lean back /
Just let go /
You’ve done your duty /
Carried your load
I see you stumble /
and fall once again /
but you keep gettin’ up /
you won’t let them win /
Through a blanket of darkness / I stumbled ahead /
No rest for the weary / I’ll sleep when I’m dead
The silence was deafening / my eyes felt the sound
I was flying forever / ‘til I hit the ground
Blinkin sweat from his eyes, he leans into the pain
of the burden he lives with, the struggle and strain
