Silver Star Battalion

Medal that his dad gave him Tucked away in his duffel bag

Said don't 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 ain't 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

No one 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 ain't 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 ain't coming back (ain't coming

back)

Fought for their country in Iraq

And they left their families at home To come over here and

die alone

(die alone)

To come over here and die

alone
