Select language to translate this lyric
He's packing his bags got the call that he's leaving
He's getting deployed to some God forsaken place
He's leaving his wife and his baby here without him
She tries to be strong but it won't be long until she breaks
But she smiles through her tears as he's leaving
And then she cries as he walks through the door cause
she just wants him at home
Hold a little longer stay a little stronger for you
And she'll pray a little longer work a little harder for you
And she'll never lose her way she'll always be faithful to you
So hold on a little longer cause she is holding on for you
He's reading his letters that he gets every week now
She writes about the baby he's growing and he's looking just like him
And then he smiles through his tears as he's reading
And then he cries as he puts it away cause he just wants to go home
Hold a little longer stay a little stronger for you
And she'll pray a little longer work a little harder for you
And she'll never lose her way she'll always be faithful to you
So hold on a little longer cause she is holding on for you
It's been a year full of fear, fighting steel'n sand
Blood and tears, a man with a gun in hand
He's done his time on the line in the desert sky
He dreams of baseball and beer by the pool side
But the war keeps on taking and he keeps on giving
But he's running out
I said the war keeps on taking and he keeps on giving
But he's running out
He just wants to go⦠HOME!
Hold a little longer stay a little stronger for you
And she'll pray a little longer work a little harder for youâ¦Alright
And she'll never lose her way she'll always be faithful to you
So hold on a little longer cause she is holding on for you
Yeah yeahâ¦
