Lyrics
Sun shining on a small-town parade,
Celebrating me coming home today.
Told a couple stories for the evening news,
Shook a few hands, got a few thank you’s.
Got to hold my baby girl for the very first time,
She got eyes like her mama’s, and a nose like mine.
Feels good to be standing on this southern ground,
‘Til the desert finds its way back around.
So I fake a smile, put on a front.
I can’t forget these things I’ve done.
My life was changed for Uncle Sam,
This war goes on for who I am.
The hell I’ve seen just shakes me now,
Like the business end of that .50 cal.
In a room full of people, I feel alone.
I’m just playing the part of a soldier coming home.
I’m not the man I used to be,
But this guy in the mirror still looks like me.
It's hard to act like things ain’t changed.
But I’m the leading role in a make-believe game.
So I fake a smile, put on a front.
I can’t forget these things I’ve done.
My life was changed for Uncle Sam,
This war goes on for who I am.
The hell I’ve seen just shakes me now,
Like the business end of that .50 cal.
In a room full of people, I feel alone.
I’m just playing the part of a soldier coming..
Home,
I’m coming home.
‘Cause the hell I’ve seen just shakes me now,
Like the business end of that .50 cal.
In a room full of people, I feel alone.
I’m just playing the part of a soldier coming home.
I’m still playing the part of a soldier coming home.
Sun shining on a small-town parade,
Celebrating me coming home today.
