|
I could see the car arrive |
|
the uniforms, they stepped outside |
|
Doorbell rings and breaks the quiet |
|
Hats in hand they come inside |
|
The bitter truth, the disbelief |
|
The shock at first, the waves of grief |
|
How'm I gonna carry on |
|
When everything is gone |
|
Oh native son |
|
Oh where have you gone |
|
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin |
|
He was only seventeen |
|
Local boy with small-town dreams |
|
No one ever questioned it |
|
Figured it was his best bet |
|
Straight from school to his first tour |
|
The constant fear that he endured |
|
How are you gonna carry on |
|
So far away from home |
|
Oh native son |
|
Oh where have you gone |
|
Oh native son |
|
You're not coming home |
|
Folded flag, the family name |
|
Proud soldier in a picture frame |
|
How are we gonna carry on |
|
When all our faith is gone |
|
Oh native son |
|
(How am I supposed to carry on) |
|
Oh where have you gone |
|
(How am I supposed to carry on) |
|
Oh native son |
|
(How am I supposed to carry on) |
|
You're not coming home |
|
(All my faith is gone) |
|
Oh native son |
|
(How am I supposed to carry on) |
|
Oh where have you gone |
|
(All my faith, all my faith is gone) |
|
Oh native son |
|
(How am I supposed to carry on) |
|
You're not coming home |
