Chorus
Oh, she gets lonely most every evenin’
She hears him callin’ deep in her heart
He was her only though she knew he’d be leavin’
Just like his father, playing his part
1) A soldier for glory, he walked out her door
Lookin’ for the meaning that men find in war
Another generation, another foreign shore
Finally she wonders what it’s for Chorus
2) Once she was proud of the flag in the breeze
Her husband, her son with stripes on their sleeves
Losing them both is too much to grieve
It’s driven her down to her knees
Last Chorus
Oh, she gets lonely when it’s comin’ on evenin’
She knows he’s fallin’ deep in her heart
He was her only though she knew he’d be leavin’
Just like his father, playing his part (2x)
