Lyrics
Dear wife, don't leave don't go away
I'll be back I swear, some lucky day
My mind is here, but my thoughts are at home
My heart aches, as I carry my bones
I cry at night, thinking of day
All I do is hope, then pray
What can I do to help myself
This war is pure hell
Battle cry for stateside, try to fight with pride
Battle cry for stateside, so dam tired inside
Battle cry for stateside, too much loss of life
Battle cry for stateside, too many wars to fight
Well I dream at night, to empty my soul
We've got fighting ahead, we gotta rock n roll
One more shot, untill we cross the field
close my eyes, run like hell
I cry at night, thinking of day
All I do is hope, then pray
What can I do to help myself
This war is pure hell
Battle cry for stateside, try to fight with pride
Battle cry for stateside, so dam tired inside
Battle cry for stateside, too much loss of life
Battle cry for stateside, who's to say war is right
Hey, hey, hey, don't go, and shoot me down dead
I'll but my time, and use my mind, that's what I want instead
Think about it yeah, pills to clear your head
They got acid queens, and night time dreams
When they went to bed, Whoah
I hope to lose these thoughts of war
Get out of my head, I don't want no more
That day will come when I hold you tight
To be back home, stateside
I cry at night, thinking of day
All I do is hope, then pray
What can I do to help myself
This war is pure hell
Battle cry for stateside, try to fight with pride
Battle cry for stateside, so dam tired inside
Battle cry for stateside, too much loss of life
Battle cry for stateside, there's too many wars to fight
Battle cry for stateside, Battle cry for stateside, Battle cry for stateside
Battle, Battle, Cry
Stateside!!
