Song Description

Father serving in Iraq, misses family and child

Lyrics

A mother cries, A family has a lot to say
No reason why but they sent him there anyway
hey hey hey hey
Momma says, daddy's gonna be ok
A little boy says where is daddy any way
hey. Hey hey hey hey
She said son if your daddy was here right now
He'd say hold your head up high and make us proud
Don't be afraid to speak the truth no matter what they say
He'd say take care of your family and take care of your friends
Keep them all close until the very end
Don't be afraid to speak your mind, to say what is true
But most of all believe in you...most of all believe in you.
Off to fightin' some say it's just a needless war
It's hard to shoot a gun when you don't know what you're fighting for
Wanna' go back home, see the face of my little boy
His first real Christmas, wanna see him open all his toys
You can send me all your kind words you can send all your prayers
But it's not the same as when I'm home with you over there
Gotta' get out of this place, it's driving me crazy
So Take care of your family and take care of your friends
Keep them all close until the very end
Don't be afraid to speak your mind, to say what is true
But most of all believe in you

Solo

Repeat second Chorus

Momma' says daddy's gonna' be OK
A little boy says where is daddy anyway
hey hey hey hey hey hey.
