Lyrics

I stood in line beside a soldier
At the airport ticket counter
We were catching flights in Tennessee
We made a little easy conversation
I asked his destination
Another tour of duty in the Middle East
Then he asked me where I was headed to
When I answered home, he just said
"Lucky you"
And I thought lucky me, he's right
I sleep in my own bed at night
I've got everything I need and more
All that he gave up to wear that uniform
Lucky me, while he fights a war
I live the life he's fighting for
He is the brave, I am the free
Lucky me
I stood there silent and all I heard
Echoing from his two words
Were all the things he didn't say
That he's lonely and scared
Battle scarred
Family back home praying hard
He never knows if he'll see another day
But he held up his head and looked me in the eye
Right there in those two words
I could hear a soldier's pride
And I thought lucky me, he's right
I sleep in my own bed at night
I've got everything I need and more
All that he gave up to wear that uniform
Lucky me, while he fights a war
I live the life he's fighting for
He is the brave, I am the free
Lucky me
I tried to thank him before we parted ways
But the best I could do was a tear
Rolling down my face
Lucky me, that's right
Freedom comes at a heavy price
And we don't all pay our equal share
Or know what it's like over there
Lucky us, the ones at home
While others go to the battle zones
They are the brave, we are the free
Lucky you, lucky me
Lucky you, lucky me
