He almost forgot how to drive over here By he tries to survive over there Some young conscious ripped him off And ran him over the road He just turned 22 last week In the back of a strike somewhere in Tehran He never thought he lived to this old It's crazy being home It's crazy being home He stepped off a plane Feels like yesterday They were waving flags and signs with his names They said they will pray for what he done if they only knew what he had became The girl in love she swore that she'll wait But he came home to a cold empty place Got a burger today and got a new cell phone It's crazy being home The stars all look the same He still answers to his name It's ok something it just ain't right He tried to fight for what you love But his young eyes have seen too much Till you will be where he has been You wouldn't understand I hope you will never have to my friend He got to call us back on a plane To where he belong might sound the same His brothers are there he can't find this alone So they dropped them right there in the blood red sand His best friends is locked and in his hands And the sergeant yells boys it's time to go And he thought it's crazy being home It's crazy being home It's crazy being home It's crazy being home It's crazy being home crazy being home Yeah It's crazy being home
Wheels are turnin' I feel my whole life spinnin' 'round Stars are burnin' I don't even know where I am Sometimes the road seems like such a crazy way to live Sometimes my dreams take more, more than I can give
[Chorus] When I need you Gotta see you I find a way to break through And I can almost feel your touch When I'm restless Feelin' desperate I know I'll never make it Without your love Even though you're a thousand miles away from me tonight I can see you, you're right here by my side I just close my eyes I just close my eyes
People surround me Still I feel so alone Lost and empty Every time we hang up the phone God knows I'd turn around and run to you right now I've still got three more nights and two more towns
Jenny's daddy was five years gone By the time that Jenny was six years old It was her and her mom and her parakeet Pete In a little blue house at the end of the street Her friends asked her what her daddy did And You know how it is when you're just a kid She couldn't tell them that she didn't know, so Jenny just lied and told 'em
Chorus: He's a cowboy ridin' the range He's got a painted pony with a flowin' mane And he's chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain and He don't go runnin' away when it gets tough He's made of that stuff That Don't let you down, boy No, he's a cowboy He's a cowboy
10 years later after a pillow fight Well, Jenny and her friends got to talkin' about life And what they're gonna do when they graduate And what kind of guy they're gonna marry one And all of her friends said the usual stuff You know doctors and lawyers and bankers and such But Jenny didn't even bat an eye When she started talkin' 'bout her dream guy It was a...
Repeat Chorus
Well, Jenny married a guy named Mike And they had a little boy, and they started life But Mike ran off four years ago And now her little boy is five years old And Jenny looks out the window and smiles At the way life works when you give it a while Her little man runnin' 'round out back With a stick horse and a little red hat
