Come Back Home

[Verse 1]

Boots hit gravel at 0400

Kissed her goodbye at the kitchen door

Flag on the mailbox and stars on the wall

I left my whole world back on that shore

[Pre-Chorus]

Hometown fades in the rearview dust

My hands hold tight and my heart holds trust

[Chorus]

Semper fi to the ones I leave behind

I wear this uniform but I carry them in mind

Every letter home is a lifeline thrown

Prayin' they remember me when I come back home

[Post-Chorus]

Come back home

Come back home

[Verse 2]

Sand and heat and long desert nights

Brothers by my side through the longest fights

She sends pictures of the porch light on

Says the dog still waits by the gravel drive

[Pre-Chorus]

Another month and another mile

I'll see that smile in a little while

[Chorus]

Semper fi to the ones I leave behind

I wear this uniform but I carry them in mind

Every letter home is a lifeline thrown

Prayin' they remember me when I come back home

[Post-Chorus]

Come back home

Come back home

[Bridge]

One day I'll hang this uniform up

Trade the camo for a coffee cup

And every morning that I get to hold her close

I'll thank the Lord for the life I chose

[Chorus]

Semper fi to the ones I leave behind

I wear this uniform but I carry them in mind

Every letter home is a lifeline thrown

Prayin' they remember me when I come back home

[Post-Chorus]

Come back home

Come back home

Come back home
