Going Back To Iraq Lyrics

As you're reading this letter,
Then you know that I'm gone,
It was to hard to say good-by the second time around,
I should have married you, a long time ago,
But if I don't make it back, here's what I want you to do,

Have a party in my name,
and move on with your life,
Remember me holding you so tight, by the fireside,
Have a party in my name, and move on with your life,
Remember me holding you so tight
sitting right by your side,

I'm off to Iraq with a weapon in my hand,
To keep peace in a war I don't always understand,
But me and my buddies are all dressed alike,
We'll do what we have to do to keep our homeland safe tonight,
If I don't make it back,

Have a party in my name,
and move on with your life,
Remember me holding you so tight by the fireside,
Have a party in my name,
and move on with your life ,
Remember me holding you so tight,
sitting right by your side,

Honey it's been a long year, my job over here is done,
I'll be coming home to you by the morning light,
All my bags are packed and I'm heading to the runway,
All I can think about is getting home to you today,

We'll have a party in our name and get on with our life,
And I'll marry you and make love by the fireside,

And may god bless our soldiers still serving you and me,
And keep them all safe tonight while they do what they have to do, They'll lay down their lives to keep us all safe here at home, In the greatest land that man has ever known,
I Think,

We should have a party in their names,
and remember all of them,
The men and women who fight for our freedom tonight,
We should have a party in their names,
and remeber all of them,

Oh' Our brave soldiers the heroes of our land,
Oh' Our brave soldiers the heroes of our land
