[00:11.87] The swing sets are empty
[00:13.09]
[00:13.86] like dirt turned the dark of the night
[00:16.67]
[00:19.02] The center of this town
[00:20.11]
[00:20.72] it used to whirl in the glow of twilight
[00:23.59]
[00:25.78] It might look like god's away with all the trouble these days
[00:34.54]
[00:36.68] We'll come home before the girls are grown
[00:40.15]
[00:42.81] We're coming home tonight
[00:45.15]
[00:47.64] What oh have we done to run this country into such a sight
[00:52.39]
[00:55.05] Stolen from our brothers like we couldn't find a fair enough fight
[00:59.64]
[01:01.67] You wait on promise you will say
[01:05.15]
[01:06.89] Won't forsake the ash and clay
[01:10.92]
[01:12.75] Let's come home before the girls are grown
[01:16.65]
[01:19.11] Let's come home to fight
[01:21.56]
[01:26.18] I know we want whats best for us
[01:29.01] I know it has to come at a price
[01:31.74]
[01:33.64] I also know the trouble that you find when you stop being nice
[01:38.33]
[01:40.57] You look around you one day
[01:43.80]
[01:45.60] What you once knew didn't stay
[01:49.39]
[01:51.32] Let's come home before the girls are grown
[01:54.90]
[01:57.44] Let's come home tonight
[02:00.06]
[02:25.80] Have you ever asked a man
[02:27.97] to take your place at the head of the table
[02:31.00]
[02:32.98] You could shed away your shame if in the end
[02:36.57] You found you simply weren't able
[02:38.80]
[02:40.39] You might find out you could stay
[02:44.19]
[02:45.65] On the ash and on the clay
[02:49.04]
[02:51.19] Come on home before the girls are grown
[02:54.87]
[02:57.45] Come on home tonight
[02:59.88]
[03:12.50] Come on home before the girls are grown
[03:16.40]
[03:18.92] Come on home to fight
[03:21.42]
