Lyrics

American Soldier?s Wife

She gets up every morning drops her children off at school
Worries how their day will go cause kids can be so cruel
But she knows today its not the exception it?s the rule
And no one sees her cry

She tells them every morning their daddy won?t be gone for long
And prays to God each night she?s not telling them wrong
She lies in bed each night listenin to their favorite song
But no one sees her cry

Chorus
She keeps the home fires burning keeps her children learning
That the price of freedom is paid with sacrifice
She spends her nights yearning that soon he?ll be returning
He?ll be back and they can have a normal life
She?s an American soldier?s wife


When she?s out alone they all ask where he is
And she politely answers when they ask her if he?s missed
She often makes the time go by by remembering his goodbye kiss
But but no one sees her cry

She?s taken on all the things he used to do for them
Cause she wants him to be as proud of her as they are of him



Chorus
She keeps the home fires burning keeps her children learning
That the price of freedom is paid with sacrifice
She spends her nights yearning that soon he?ll be returning
He?ll be back and they can have a normal life
She?s an American soldier?s wife
God bless the American soldier?s wife
