Lyrics

He walks in
Just coming home from work
He said I've got something to tell you
It's probably gonna hurt

It's that moment
Every military spouse dreads
We know it's comin'
So we bow our heads and wait

He said I'm going to Iraq
I don't know how long I'll be
So let's wait to tell the kids
That I'm goin' overseas

That awful feelin’
Runs down my face
I won't cry
Cause I've gotta be brave

The kids come in and say
Mama what's wrong
I just smile and say
Nothin' at all


I said baby
I don't want you to leave
I don't wanna say goodbye
This can't be happening to me

He said I love you and
I'll see you soon
He hugged the kids
And pointed to the moon
It cuts like a knife
That’s the Military life


Six months in
She's waiting for his call
The kids are upstairs fightin'
And drawing on the walls

They're all stressed out
It's written, on her face
She gets on her knees
And starts to pray


Well, she counts to ten
Trying to stay calm
They’re both countin' down the days
They gotta be strong



He said baby
You know I didn’t wanna leave
Don't worry about the walls
Just remember to breathe

I love you and
I'll see you soon
And don’t forget
To look at the moon
Oh it cuts like a knife
That's, the Military life


Nine Months go by
They greet him at the airport
With a sign all lit up
That reads “Daddy Welcome Home”



Baby, you came back to me
I never wanna say goodbye
Home is where you should be

We missed you and
Those combat boots
He hugged our kids
And looked at the moon
And that's the Sacrifice
That's the military life

That's the Military life

That’s the Military life
