Soldier Lyrics

Soldier dear soldier come home to us now there's so much worth fight ing here for

Your wife's at home with 3 kids on her own and poverty knocks at the door

Believe it or not she found you a spot where you could have some work

It's not much for pay you'll sweat every day to quit is your only perk

Come home come home come home

Soldier dear soldier come home

Soldier dear soldier come home to us now grandpa is passing away

Grandma's gone your parents moved on and he'll probably go any day

But family estrangements and funeral arrangements don't make things very clear

My heart it pains and I'm losing the reins my darling I need you here

Come home come home come home

Soldier dear soldier come home

Twas never a question of your best intention good soldiers do what they're told

But I can't keep buying if someone is lying too much of it already sold

Could one card take the whole house down unless someone gives it a push

In a free land a bird in hand is worth more than two in a bush

Come home come home come home

Soldier dear soldier come home
