Till They Came Home Testo

Times were hard but they were fun,
In nineteen-forty-one:
The year that Jim and Kathryn fell in love.
They were graduatin' college;
Their heads were full of knowledge,
And visions of takin' on the world,
But Uncle Sam and those Pearl Harbor bombs,
Pulled Jim away from Kathryn's arms.
Then along came Vietnam,
In nineteen-sixty-one:
The year that Bob and Mandy said: 'I do.'
They bought a house oustide the city;
Everything was sittin' pretty.
But again old Uncle Sam said: 'I need you.'
Bob said: 'Mandy, honey, I'll be back.
'Don't you worry you can count on that.'
And as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed,
Every father laid awake the whole night through.
Every brother bragged; every sister cried;
Every home town across this land held on till they came home.
Times were hard but they were fun,
In nineteen-ninety-one:
The year that John and Sally said goodbye.
He held two kids in his arms,
As she left for Desert Storm.
John could see the sadness in her eyes.
He watched her sail away, navy blue,
Up on the quarter deck in full salute.
And as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed,
Every father laid awake the whole night through.
Every brother bragged; every sister cried;
Every home town across this land held on till they came home.
Some came home as heroes,
Proud to be back.
An' some came home as heroes,
Covered with the flag.
And as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed,
Every father laid awake the whole night through.
Every brother bragged; every sister cried;
Every home town across this land held on till they came home.
Every home town across this land holds on till they come home
