Lyrics
Come Home
© 2018 Frederick M. Spina
Miles and miles away I'm going to go
Can't stay here anymore
Even the lines on my face
Don't want to be here as I grow old
The house that I live in has only one light on the front porch
With family and friends waiting for me to come home
Here I stand with helmet in hand would proudly serve a few years more
Buy I've got family and friends waiting for me to come home
Headlights can make you start sometimes
As your mind starts to wander off
My brothers are still in the mountains
That are jagged, dry and rough
Here I stand with helmet in hand would proudly serve a few years more
Buy I've got family and friends waiting for me to come home
There's something about war,
And there's something about coming home
First you stand and fight
And now you worry that you'll fall
Here I stand with helmet in hand would proudly serve a few years more
Buy I've got family and friends waiting for me to come home
Here I stand with helmet in hand would proudly serve a few years more
Buy I've got family and friends waiting for me to come home
