Distant Fields

I watched the sunset paint the county line

Left a map of dirt roads in my mind

My duffel bag is heavy by the door

I'm stepping out to serve what I adore

But the hardest part

of leaving this sweet ground

Is the blue-eyed girl who keeps my anchor down (oh-oh-oh)

I'll stand for the red white and blue

But my heart is marching home to you

Through every field and endless sky

You're the quiet prayer behind my goodbye (to you) She gave me

a silver locket with her name

To keep me steady through the wind and rain

And I carry her love alongside my pride

With the dust of home forever by my side

Two loves that divide my soul in two

The soil beneath my boots,

and loving you

But I know they're woven in the very same thread

By every single promise that we said

I'll stand for the red white and blue

But my heart is marching home to you

Through every field and endless sky

You're the quiet prayer behind my goodbye (to you)

Yeah, marching home to you

(home to you)
