Intro

Verse 1

It was the night before he left for over seas

He was in dress blues, somethin that he had to do

So he grabbed her hand, held it from the passenger seat

Of his his pickup truck, got down on one knee

Then he pulled a ring out of the pocket in his shirt

He said I love you, were gonna make this work

I'll only be gone for a little less than a year

She began to cry, he held her tight

Then he looked at her, said baby would you listen hear

Chorus

Darlin when I leave you, you know that I love you

You'll be on my mind wherever I go

We were meant to be

I won't make a promise I know I can't keep

I'll do my best to make it home to you

So we can live our dream

Verse 2

When we landed I stepped on to the (LZ?)

We were under fire, and I came back to move

About fifty yards out they were shootin at me

So I dropped down fast, I raised my M-16

And when my buddy yelled, they're comin from the right

I didn't hear him, so I stayed in the fight

That night I guess I faced my biggest fear

Felt a sharp pain, stabbin in my back

I could feel you in my final flashback

I guess my nineteen years will end here

Chorus

Darlin when I leave you, you know that I love you

You'll be on my mind wherever I go

We were meant to be

I won't make a promise I know I can't keep

I'll do my best to make it home to you

So we can live our dream (X3)
