Lyrics
STATESIDE
Married a girl strong as can be
Her job was fighting for her country
But all he wanted was to hold her tight
And have her back in his arms safe stateside
He was shipped off to a war
They knew what he was fighting for
But all they wanted was to hold him tight
And have him back in their arms safe stateside
Won't you bring em home safely
Bring em home so they can see
That they are what we really care about
Two years in she lost her love
No doubt that she was so proud of his service
To his fellow countrymen
But it hurt, he was gone and she wanted him back again
Won't you bring em home safely
Bring em home so they can see
That they are what we really care about
Won't you bring em home safely
Bring em home so they can see
That they are what we really care about
They love their country all too well
When they say goodbye it's hard to tell
That all they want is hold their loved ones tight
And be back in their arms safe stateside
Won't you bring em home safely
Bring em home so they can see
That they are what we really care about
Won't you bring em home safely
Bring em home so they can see
That they are what we really care about
