Every morning he wakes up to the sound of bombs in the sky
Waiting it out in a bunker he wonders if he's gonna get out alive
He signed up for the National Guard and we ended up in a war
Now he's doing his duty servin' his country and he'll never question what for
He feels so alone
Every morning she wakes up to three kids and a job she just got
Should she pay the phone bill, the visa, the mastercard, the questions never
stop
Like why did our daddy have to leave us, when will he be comin' back
She gives them a hug instead of an answer cause she can't answer that
She feels so alone
He's fightin' a war over there, she's fightin' a war at home
Every night he writes her a letter, reads one she's written to him
He kisses the envelope, thinks what a struggle this is for both of them
Every night she stares at his picture, sleeps on his side of the bed
Hopin' that knock on the door never comes, hopin' that in the end
She won't be alone
He's fightin' a war over there she's fightin' a war at home
He grew up thinking killin' is wrong, said he'd never fire a gun
She stares at the sky, she never thought
She'd be prayin' he knows how to use one
Today he had a close call took some shrapnel in his leg
For a month he's tradin' the battlefield for a hospital bed
It's 2 am, the telephone rings, she whispers please let it be him
He says hello, and just for a moment there's peace for both of them
They don't feel so alone
He's fightin' a war over there she's fightin' a war at home
