Verse 1:
I see here in the paper, this mornin’ at 10:30 he’s comin’ home
Let’s head on into town, and meet him at the airport
I’d hate to think he’s comin’ home alone
He shouldn’t be alone
Chorus 1:
As we turn south down the highway, a sea of grateful tears flood my eyes
‘Cause there’s an ocean of red, white, and blue on the shoulder of US 95
American flags dippin’ one by one, from the people along the road
It’s an honor earned the hard way by a hero comin’ home
Verse 2:
He left his friends and family, now he’s died for you and me 'cause he served
This is the least that we can do, comin’ here to greet him
A soldier’s life is more than we deserve
It’s more than we deserve
Chorus 1:
Bridge:
This life that he has given is a debt we cannot pay
I pray he’s not forgotten by the people here today, dear God I pray
Chorus 2:
As we turn south down this highway, a sea of grateful tears flood my eyes
‘Cause there’s an ocean of red, white, and blue on the shoulder of US 95
American flags dippin’ one by one, a full mile down the road
It’s an honor earned the hard way, by a hero comin’ home
Tag:
It’s an honor earned the hard way by this hero comin’ home
This hero comin’ home
