Verse
You were born in June, couldn't wait 'til July
A little bit scrawny lying there, and you never did cry
big head of hair, blue eyes so round ...please come home safe and sound

you could hit that ball like you were born to do
dragged home strays at night like you were one of them too
sometimes lost but always found...please come home safe and sound

got your first tattoo on your 18th year
screaming eagle on your skin, and you had no fear
now that bird flies high combat bound...please come home safe and sound

Chorus
I walk every day in your soldier shoes
and I pray you're okay cause I just can't bear to lose you

Verse
when I speak your name I hear angels sing
I see your brave face in everything
and it picks me up when I get down...please come home safe and sound

yeah you're so brave and I'm so free
but I'd give anything if you'd trade places with me
cause you're my boy and this is your town...please come home safe and sound

Repeat Chorus
Solo
Repeat Chorus
You were born in June, couldn't wait 'til July
