Medal that his dad gave him
Tucked away in his duffel bag
Said dont worry about a thing pops
You'll be getting this when I get back
Walking down the road
Through the city on a routine patrol
Shots rang out and he hits the ground
Sergeant yells man down
And this is for the ones who aint coming back
Fought for their country in Iraq
They left their families at home
To come over here and die alone
Carried his coffin onto the plane
Gave a salute as they read off his name
They packed away that duffel bag
And the silver star that he got from his dad
There was one old man when we got off the plane
Noone there for him to grieve
The whole damn company shook his hand
Brothers to the son he will never see
This is for the ones who aint coming back
Fought for their country in Iraq
And they left their families at home
To come over here and die alone
And this is for the ones who aint coming back
Fought for their country in Iraq
And they left their families at home
To come over here and die alone
