OVER THE WIRE
THE LAST TIME I WORE THAT UNIFORM
I WAS STANDING WITH MY SON
THE THING THAT SCARED ME THE MOST
WAS HE'D SEE AND DO ALL I'VE SEEN AND DONE
I COULDN'T SAY A WORD
AS WE STOOD THERE ON SACRED GROUND
HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID DAD
DON'T WORRY IT'S MY TURN NOW
THIS NAME I'M PASSING DOWN
THIS FLAME WON'T GO OUT
ONE PAIR OF BOOTS WILL FACE THE FIRE
THE OTHER PAIR GOES OVER THE WIRE
THE HARDEST LESSONS I'VE EVER LEARNED
WERE ALL ABOUT LETTING GO
I DON'T CARE HOW STRONG YOU THINK YOU ARE
THERE'S SOME THINGS YOU CAN'T CONTROL
I CAN'T LIVE HIS LIFE FOR HIM
BUT IT HELPED ME UNDERSTAND
THE DAY I LOOKED INTO HIS EYES
AND WATCHED MY BOY BECOME A MAN
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG
