Lyrics
The ground is trembling as I write this, might be my last words And I’m remembering what you told me, it helps give me courage And I’m not here for medals, don’t wanna talk ‘bout what I’ve done what I’ve seen Just wish that I could hold you one more time, but I’ve got a promise to keep Miles From Home, Miles From Home, as I roam, don’t let my memory grow cold Miles From Home, Miles From Home, if I fall, say a prayer for my soul Another fire fight, dawns early light, and the rockets’ red glare Our jet fueled fighters fly, and though the sky, bombs bursting in air And just like our forefathers, I’ll serve with honor, this is my Valley Forge ‘Cause my God made me a soldier, like I told ya, and a soldier belongs Miles From Home, Miles From Home, as I roam, don’t let my memory grow cold Miles From Home, Miles From Home, if I fall, say a prayer for my soul So now I go, ‘cause the time’s come to hear my country’s call (Let’s Roll) Miles From Home, Miles From Home, as I roam, don’t let my memory grow cold Miles From Home, Miles From Home, if I fall, just light a candle and say a prayer for my soul Miles From Home, Miles From Home Miles From Home, Miles From Home The ground is trembling as I write this, might be my last words
