​

Dear Mom how’s your garden growing?
What’s new, how’s my crazy brother doing?
Thanks for the salt crackers and sardines next time send some beer

​

I know you’re scared sometimes
I get scared too
But I’ll do what I signed up for and pray I make it back to you
It ain’t all like the news
I’m getting by alright over here

​

Ch: I wake up and work my shift
They got church and a gym
We talk girls cars and basketball
Watch tv, take out the trash
Do my laundry stuff like that
Kinda like normal life
But with bombs going off

​

Momma, in between the missiles and the mortars
Half the fight is fighting off the boredom
But I heard we’re gonna get
To make a call back home most any day
Yeh there’s not enough ink and paper
To tell you just how much I miss ya

So I’m biding my time in the meantime trying anyway

CH: I wake up and work my shift
They got church and a gym
We talk girls cars and basketball
Watch tv , take out the trash
Do my laundry stuff like that
Kinda like normal life
But with bombs going off

​

First time it happened
I felt the shock waves in my chest
Momma can you imagine
Me getting use to this?

​

CH(half):
I wake up and work my shift
They got church and a gym
Kinda like normal life
But with bombs going off

​

Dear Mom how’s your garden growing?
Hang on we’ll be hanging out
Before you know it
