Welcome Home 03:36
lyrics

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
