Lori McKenna

Two soldiers coming home

I'm sitting in 12B

I got a window seat

All I wanted was a couple hours sleep

A woman's voice came on

The intercom

She said "let's hear a round of applause for"

Two soldiers coming home

Returning to their families

They've been away from them so long

There's gonna be some flags waving

Probably see some tear stained faces

By the grace of God

They made it home (home)

We all clapped our hands

Some stomped their feet

Then returned to their books and magazines

A few rows ahead

I saw his uniform

Then she said again "Come on let's hear it for"

Two soldiers coming home

Returning to their families

They've been away from them so long

There's gonna be some flags waving

Probably see some tear stained faces

By the grace of God

They made it home (home)

When that plane landed

We watched one soldier leave

But the second soldier we never got to see

An army band was playing

By a long black limousine

Two soldiers coming home

Returning to their families

They've been away from them so long

There's gonna to be some flags waving

And some tear stained faces

Oh the journeys over for two soldiers

Coming home
