Folded Flag (feat. Deedee O'malley)

You say that you gotta go now 
Leave me here all alone now 
That this is bigger than both of us 
Ain't worth staying just for love

You say it's for God and country 
And some one has to take a stand
You say that you love me 
And you'll keep us safe for Uncle Sam

But what about us 
What about me 
What about kids and a family 
What about all that we hoped this life could be 

I know you have to go now
And I won't beg you to stay 
I can deal with lonely nights 
And wait here patently
I know you're out there fighting 
And you know I have faith
Boy it better be you that comes back to me someday
Instead of a folded Flag

Got a postcard from over seas
Helps to know you're thinking of me
I talked to your ma' today
She said to tell you everything's okay

I'm trying not to cry as I send this mail
Or knowing if you're alive or dead
The news makes it look like a living hell
So I can't get it out of my head

But what about us 
What about me 
What about kids and a family 
What about all that we hoped this life could be 

I know you have to go now
And I won't beg you to stay 
I can deal with lonely nights 
And wait here patently
I know you're out there fighting 
And you know I have faith
Boy it better be you that comes back to me someday
Instead of a folded Flag

I'm praying that you'll walk through that door
Cause we got so much to live for
I need to see you smile again
I know we're gonna walk hand in hand

I know you have to go now
And I won't beg you to stay 
I can deal with lonely nights 
And wait here patently
I know you're out there fighting 
And you know I have faith
Boy it better be you that comes back to me someday
Instead of a folded Flag
