[Verse 1] Empty bedroom Two pictures on the wall Crayon sunflowers Baby handprints small Their names carved In that old oak tree out back I trace the letters Then the memories hit like glass [Chorus] ’Cause I was standin’ on the edge that night Thinkin’ maybe I could fade out too Tired of breathin’ in this busted life With every highway sign remindin’ me of you But my boy’s out there wearin’ dress blues Boots in the dust, flag in his view If I let go, he falls too So I hold on I hold on To carry my boy home [Verse 2] Folded program Church bell still in my ears Steering wheel scars Where I punched through the tears Thought about drivin’ Till the road just disappeared Then my phone rang And I heard “Hey, Dad, you there?” [Chorus] [Bridge] He said, “I run your blood Every mile that I march I feel your heart Under this patch on my arm” So I curse that road But I thank the Lord above For the son who still needs Every piece of my love [Chorus]
