How Do I Get There

VERSE
WELL I SET MY EYES ON SOMETHING
FROM THE AGE OF JUST FIFTEEN
MOMMA MADE ME GET THAT EAGLE SCOUT
SHE KNEW I WAS MEANT TO LEAD
WANTED TO FIGHT FOR THAT FLAG
JUST LIKE MY OLD MAN
LET THOSE COLORS FLY
WHILE I PROTECT THIS LAND
CHORUS
HOW DO I GET THERE
TO WHERE I WANT TO GO
TO WALK THAT LONG GREY LINE
TO WEAR THAT BAR OF GOLD
HOW DO I GET THERE
TO WALK ACROSS THAT STAGE
TP THROW THAT HAT UP IN THE AIR
AFTER GETTING THROUGH OUR DAY
HOW DO I GET THERE
VERSE
DUTY HONOR COUNTRY
THOSE THREE HALLOWED WORDS
LEARNIN HOW TO GIVE IT ALL
WHAT IT MEANS TO SERVE
LEADING IN THE 82ND
TAKING HEROES OFF TO WAR
STARING EVIL IN THE EYE
AS I FLY INTO THE STORM
CHORUS
HOW DO I GET THERE
TO WHERE I WANT TO GO
TO WALK THAT LONG GREY LINE
TO WEAR THAT BAR OF GOLD
HOW DO I GET THERE
TO WALK ACROSS THAT STAGE
TP THROW THAT HAT UP IN THE AIR
AFTER GETTING THROUGH OUR DAY
HOW DO I GET THERE
BRIDGE
FIGHTING FREEDOMS FIGHT
MAKING IT BACK HOME
TO FIND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
HAVING A SON OF OUR OWN
WATCHING HIM GROW UP
LOOKING IN HIS EYES
KNOWING WITHOUT A DOUBT
EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT
CHORUS 3
HOW DO I GET THERE
TO WHERE I WANT TO GO
MAKING IT STATESIDE
RAISIN A FAMILY OF MY OWN
HOW DO I GET THERE
HOW CAN I SEE THE END
TO KNOW THAT THERES MORE TO LIFE
THAN LOSING A BEST FRIEND
HOW DO I GET THERE

Welcome Home
03:36

Just a kid flying overseas
Not knowing bout the man he’d be
Learning bout the fear of the unknown
As quick as it became so real
From boot camp to the battle field
They never taught you how to let it go
They signed you out and sent you home
And everyone thinks they know
When they say
welcome home
We’ve got a lot to catch up on
It’s been so long since you’ve been gone
But they’ll never understand what you’ve given up for them
Welcome home
You’ve got your family all around
And your boots are back on solid ground
Oh But they’ll never know
Welcome home
Sometimes it’s not what you hoped
What to do, where to go
Living in an empty rat race town
Cuz back home no one’s got your six
The kind of trust that don’t exist
Unless your with your brothers, downrange with goin loud
You came back to a small town big parade
But your brother came home as a folded up flag
