Fallen Soldier

Medal that his dad gave him Tucked away in his duffel bag Said dont worry about a thing pops You'll be getting this when I get back Walking down the road Through the city on a routine patrol Shots rang out and he hits the ground Sergeant yells man down And this is for the ones who aint coming back Fought for their country in Iraq They left their families at home To come over here and die alone Carried his coffin onto the plane Gave a salute as they read off his name They packed away that duffel bag And the silver star that he got from his dad There was one old man when we got off the plane Noone there for him to grieve The whole damn company shook his hand Brothers to the son he will never see This is for the ones who aint coming back Fought for their country in Iraq And they left their families at home To come over here and die alone And this is for the ones who aint coming back Fought for their country in Iraq And they left their families at home To come over here and die alone
