Screaming Eagles

Dear Shirley,

It’s early on a Friday

The eastern sun is rising and the crew is all asleep

This coffee that I'm sipping

God it makes me miss the mornings

Laying next to you

But these letters get me through

Dear Shirley

Don’t you worry bout a thing

Tell me bout the kids, are they learning? Are they listening?

I can’t give too much away

Just know that I am safe

And I’ll keep writing every day

Forever yours

Screaming eagles

American heroes,

Droppin from the sky, middle of the night, right into the fire,

Faithful soldiers

World on their shoulders

Fathers and sons, helmets and guns, brothers in arms

Screaming eagles

Dear Father,

(Been) Three days straight of rain

We’re finished with the training and the worst is yet to come

We’re crossing the atlantic

waiting on commands and i'll be honest

I am anxious

Screaming eagles

American heroes,

Droppin from the sky, middle of the night, right into the fire,

Faithful soldiers

World on their shoulders

Fathers and sons, helmets and guns, brothers in arms

Screaming eagles

I smell the smoke and metal looks like any day now

We’ll be jumping into battle

And when I’m high above the ocean,

I start thinkin, praying hoping that the good lord has a plan for

Screaming eagles

American heroes,

Droppin from the sky, middle of the night, right into the fire,

Faithful soldiers

World on their shoulders

Fathers and sons, helmets and guns, brothers in arms

Screaming eagles

Dear Shirley, it’s early on a sunday and I’m comin home
