[00:10.990]What can you see from your window
[00:16.920]I can't see anything from mine
[00:22.700]Flags on the side of the highway
[00:28.200]And scripture on grocery store signs
[00:33.350]Maybe eighteen was too early
[00:39.400]Maybe thirty or forty is too
[00:43.840]Did you get your chance to make peace with the man
[00:49.620]Before he sent down his angels for you
[00:55.160]Mamas and grandmamas love you
[01:00.260]Cause that's all they know how to do
[01:06.480]You never planned on the bombs in the sand
[01:11.000]Or sleeping in your dress blues
[01:27.700]Your wife said this all would be funny
[01:32.950]When you came back home in a week
[01:38.260]You'd turn twenty-two and we'd celebrate you
[01:43.250]In a bar or a tent by the creek
[01:49.240]Your baby would just about be here
[01:54.220]Your very last tour would be up
[01:59.880]But you won't be back,they're all dressin' in black
[02:05.180]Drinking sweet tea in styrofoam cups
[02:11.110]Mamas and grandmamas love you
[02:16.540]American boys hate to lose
[02:22.140]You never planned on the bombs in the sand
[02:27.200]Or sleepin' in your dress blues
[03:41.700]Now the high school gymnasium's ready
[03:47.630]Full of flowers and old legionnaires
[03:53.410]Nobody showed up to protest
[03:58.360]They just sniffle and stare
[04:03.670]There's red, white, and blue in the rafters
[04:09.080]And there's silent old men from the corps
[04:14.890]What did they say when they shipped you away
[04:20.120]To give all in some God awful war
[04:25.950]Nobody here could forget you
[04:31.230]You showed us what we had to lose
[04:37.260]You never planned on the bombs in the sand
[04:41.390]Or sleeping in your dress blues
[04:47.070]No,no you never planned on the bombs in the sand
[04:52.390]Or sleeping in your dress blues
[04:58.420]You never planned on the bombs in the sand
[05:03.190]Or sleeping in your dress blues
