Two Solders Coming Home

Two Solders Coming Home - Lori McKenna/Fred Wilhelm

I'm sitting in 12B

I got a window seat

All I wanted was a couple hours sleep

A woman's voice came on

The intercom

She said "let's hear a round of applause for"

Two soldiers coming home

Returning to their families

They've been away from them so long

There's gonna be some flags waving

Probably see some tear stained faces

By the grace of God

They made it home home

We all clapped our hands

Some stomped their feet

Then returned to our books and magazines

A few rows ahead

I saw uniform

Then she said again "Come on let's hear it for"

Two soldiers coming home

Returning to their families

They've been away from them so long

There's gonna be some flags waving

Probably see some tear stained faces

By the grace of God

They made it home home

They made it home

When that plane landed

We watched one soldier leave

But the second soldier we never got to see

An army band was playing

By a long black limousine

Two soldiers coming home

Returning to their families

They've been away from them so long

There's gonna be some flags waving

And some tear stained faces

Journey's over

Two soldiers coming home home

They made it home
