Homecoming
I just want to sit with you in the victory garden
Wrap me up in red white and blue
All the boys come home in trucks they travelled so far in
Touch me in a way that only you can do
Kiss me and I will show you I haven't dreamed of another
You look so proud in your navy and brass
With words we don't even bother
Hands up and down my body as we lay in the grass
Happiness is victory and victory is found in coming home
Your face is hard but your eyes are soft when you look at me
Cheers from voices heard in every quiet street I used to roam
Freedom rings loudly over the sea
Someday you can tell me all the places you've been
We've lost so much but gained each other
I'll tell you who I was but for now it's enough to just breathe you in
For now we don't dwell on the wreckage, just each other
Stars and Stripes, banners flying high in the air
It's something from a movie, kissing in the streets
Dancing and cheering for our men from the ground, sea and air
It's been a long, long time and dream a dream of me
God bless our boys in blue
God bless us all as we fight the good fight
God bless me and you
God bless the ones who now rest in a tomb
America the brave, America the strong
Proud as we've every been
There's nothing these men could do wrong
Rest their souls and give us peace as we've never seen
The commander and chief says welcome home boys
The girls run to their men, messing up curls and mascara
We still stand tall, freedom rings out her voice
It's a wonderful thing to live in Nowhere, America
Yes it's a wonderful thing for you and for me
To be in Nowhere, America
It's where the brave, strong and proud can be seen
Little Nowhere, population unknown, America
