Tour was up, middle of June
She was planning a welcome home barbeque
Green bean casserole, Grandma's recipe
There was a knock on the door 'round two o'clock
Two uniforms and her heart stopped
Yellow ribbon tied 'round the oak tree
Blowin' in the breeze
Here's to the ones who didn't make it back home
The ones we ain't seen in do long
They hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
They're not forgotten but gone
They're 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 slideshow of
His 22 years
There were laughs and there were tears
And that preacher talked about sacrifice
And traffic stopped for them Cadillac lights
Johnny sold beer half price that night singin'
Here's to the ones who didn't make it back home
The ones we ain't seen in so long
They hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
They're not forgotten, but gone
They're 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 to that front door
To the life they were fightin' for
Here's to the ones who didn't make it back home
The ones we ain't seen in so long
They hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
They're not forgotten, but gone
They're in a better place up there
But they sure left a hole down here
We just go on livin' and missin' the ones
The ones that didn't make it back home
The ones that didn't make it back home
