[Verse]
   D                                              A
He almost forgot how to drive over here, while he tried to survive a year over there
Bm                                       G
Some young punk just flipped him off and run him off of the road
D                                  A
He just turned 22 last week in the back of a Stryker somewhere in Tecreat
   Bm                                 G
He never thought he'd live to be this old
                       D G
It's crazy being home, it's crazy being home
   D                                                    A
He stepped off a plane, feels like yesterday, they were waving flags and signs with his name
     Bm                                          G
They said they were proud for what he'd done, if they only knew what he had become
    D                                            A
The girl he loved, she swore she would wait, but he came home to a cold empty place.
      Bm                           G                            D
Had a burger today, got a new cell phone, it's crazy being home

[Chorus]
G                              Bm
The stars don't look the same, he still answers to his name
D                             A
It's ok, something just ain't right
    G                                   Bm
You try to fight for what you love, but his young eyes have seen too much
         F#m                                A
Till you been where he's been, you wouldn't understand
           G
I hope you never have to, my friend

[Verse]
D                                     A
He got to call us back on a plane, to where he belongs, it might sound insane
        Bm                                           G
But his brothers are there, they can't fight this a- lone
        D                                                  A
So they dropped him right there in the blood red sand, his best friends is locked and loaded in his hands
        Bm                                  G
And the sergeant yells, "Boys, it's time to go," and he thought, "It's crazy being home"
