Lyrics
(VERSE 1)
Well I made a solem vow, to my country. Protect her rights and her libirties.
It's my second time here and it's almost through. In no time at all I'll be back to you.
Up on a building under attack. Taking heavey fire we were fighting back.
I was shooting while peaking over the ledge. I was hit, you know the rest.
(CHORUS)
Take Me Home, my time has come.
Take Me home, to the father and son.
When you see my story on the evening news. Pray for my family that they make it through cause they'll need all the strength they can get now that I am gone.
"TAKE ME HOME"
(VERSE 2)
Well tell my brand new baby that I love her so. I'm sorry that I won't get to see her grow.
I'm sorry honey that this aint your dream, you pictured when you married me.
Baby girl it's all right to cry I'm up here with God gonna make everything all right.
Just remember, here any day. I'm not gonna be the last soldier heard to say.
(CHORUS)
Take Me Home, my time has come.
Take Me home, to the father and son.
When you see my story on the evening news. Pray for my family that they make it through cause they'll need all the strength they can get now that I am gone.
"TAKE ME HOME"
(BRIDGE)
Well tell my little girl that I'm laid to rest.
And I served this country with honor. Amongst Americas best.
(CHORUS)
Take Me Home, my time has come.
Take Me home, to the father and son.
When you see my story on the evening news. Pray for my family that they make it through cause they'll need all the strength they can get now that I am gone.
"TAKE ME HOME"
