Tears From A Soldier

I can hear them whispering he's his own worst enemy But they'll never understand him outa just let him be Pain has led to drinking and drinking has lead to pain Will the whiskey chase away those memories or keep chasing blame When he came home to a place hard to recognize Yeah much to my surprise few thank you's for his sacrifice How in the world is he supposed to get on with life When the memories cut like knives We'll never understand the tears from a soldiers eyes Step lightly and don't mention it, he don't like to talk about it Screams mama I'm sitting right here, limbs lost but I can still hear Don't worry folks says I've been trained to handle fear And I'm a helluva lot better off than I was this time last year When he came home to a place hard to recognize Yeah much to my surprise few thank you's for his sacrifice How in the world is he supposed to get on with life When the memories cut like knives We'll never understand the tears from a soldiers eyes I had buddies that gave their lives There's a trail of widowed wives So raise your glasses high and say thank you He came home to a place hard to recognize When he came home to a place hard to recognize Yeah much to my surprise few thank you's for his sacrifice How in the world is he supposed to get on with life When the memories cut like knives We'll never understand the tears from a soldiers eyes No we`ll never understand never understand So raise your glasses high and say thank you
