This is for you my friend
I'm waiting on the other end
checkin' every day to see
if you wrote me a letter
This is 'cause I miss my friend
off fighting with the other men
but you know I couldn't be more proud
even if I felt bitter
Chorus:
'Cause the same man who held me so close that night
is the same man now sleeping with his gun
And the same man who would never ever start a fight
is the same man never ever run
I thought of you again last night
Thought of you in a brand new light
Head high with your proud stare
never looking back
I know you'll fight bravely
I know it 'cause you promised me
soon you'll be home with your short hair
and your funny little laugh
'Cause the same man who left me speechless with his eyes
is the same man who's squinting in the sun
And the same man who never ever start a fight
is the same man who would never ever run
And the same man who left my heart all big and sore
is the same man now facing his death
And the same man who would never ever start a war
is the same man who would always protect
So this is for you my friend
I'm waiting on the other end
checkin' every day to see
if you wrote me a letter
