lyrics

My dearest Mae,
Feels like a hundred years since I touched your face
I’ve faced a thousand fears since that day
You said you’d wait, wait for me
I apologize
My hands shake so bad when I try to write
I’m out here on the front lines every night
Even though I try…I can’t sleep

I’ve done things that I regret
And this war ain’t over yet
I’ve seen things that turned me inside out
I’ve done things I can’t talk about
Oh Mae, promise me you’ll pray
That I will live, and that God forgives
All my sins when this war ends
And the fightin’s done, and the victory’s won
I’ve seen things that turn me inside out
I’ve done things I can’t talk about with you today, Mae
Promise me you’ll pray, Mae

My dearest Mae
We said goodbye to a dozen good men today
And I’m workin’ out just what I’m gonna say
About this place…if I make it home

These boots are worn
They’ve carried me from the cornfield to the shore
As I’ve figured out just what I’m fightin’ for
You mark my words…I’m gonna make it home

A man put his hand in the air
And somehow scared a billion people into this mess
Oh, I guess I’ll jump from a plane with a rifle
aimed to find the one to blame for this awfulness
That’s what I’ll do if it means savin’ you.
That’s who I’ll be if it means that we live free.

I’ve seen things that turn me inside out
I’ve done things I can’t talk about
I’ve seen things that turn me inside out
I’ve done things I can’t talk about with you today, Mae
Promise me you’ll pray, Mae
Three cheers for the USA, Mae
I’m on my way, Mae.
