Lyrics
My mother kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye
then quickly turned her head as she began to cry.
And my father as he tried to calmly take my hand
but held it tight, he said...
He said "God, God bless my son. May God watch over him
and bring him back to me. Bring him home again."
I tried my best to keep my legs from shaking
as I left them in the kitchen with the TV on.
But then, when I had softly closed the door behind me
I fell down onto my knees on the front lawn.
And I said, "God, God bless your son. My God watch over me.
and bring me back again. Bring me home again."
