Tour was up middle of June She was plannin' a welcome home barbecue Green bean casserole, grandma's recipe There was a knock on the door around two o'clock Two uniforms and her heart stopped Yellow ribbon 'round an oak tree, blowin' in the breeze Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home The ones we ain't seen in so long The hold up a beer ones The wish they were here ones The not forgotten but gone In a better place up there But they sure left a hole down here We just go on livin' and go on missin' The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home The whole town shut down, the whole town showed up Sang Amazing Grace, watched a slide show of His 22 years, there was laughs and there was tears And that preacher talked about sacrifice And traffic stopped for them Cadillac lights Johnny sold beer half priced that night And everybody raised 'em high singin' Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home SongtexteThe ones we ain't seen in so long The hold up a beer ones The wish they were here ones The not forgotten but gone In a better place up there But they sure left a hole down here We just go on livin' and go on missin' The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home Back to that front porch Back through that front door To the life they were fightin' for Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home The ones we ain't seen in so long The hold up a beer ones The wish they were here ones The not forgotten but gone In a better place up there But they sure left a hole down here We just go on livin' and go on missin' The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home The ones that didn't make it back home Aus Songtexte Mania
