[Verse]
D A
He almost forgot how to drive over here, while he tried to survive a year over there
Bm G
Some young punk just flipped him off and run him off of the road
D A
He just turned 22 last week in the back of a Stryker somewhere in Tecreat
Bm G
He never thought he'd live to be this old
D G
It's crazy being home, it's crazy being home
D A
He stepped off a plane, feels like yesterday, they were waving flags and signs with his name
Bm G
They said they were proud for what he'd done, if they only knew what he had become
D A
The girl he loved, she swore she would wait, but he came home to a cold empty place.
Bm G D
Had a burger today, got a new cell phone, it's crazy being home
[Chorus]
G Bm
The stars don't look the same, he still answers to his name
D A
It's ok, something just ain't right
G Bm
You try to fight for what you love, but his young eyes have seen too much
F#m A
Till you been where he's been, you wouldn't understand
G
I hope you never have to, my friend
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D A
He got to call us back on a plane, to where he belongs, it might sound insane
Bm G
But his brothers are there, they can't fight this a- lone
D A
So they dropped him right there in the blood red sand, his best friends is locked and loaded in his hands
Bm G
And the sergeant yells, "Boys, it's time to go," and he thought, "It's crazy being home"
