[Verse 1]
Two soldiers at the door
Folded flag in their hands
Old uniform on a hanger
Still smelling like the land
Mama sees them coming
And her whole world splits
Daddy tries to stay upright
Then he breaks like this
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your chair, your boots
Your name on my tongue
The room goes so quiet
When the truth comes on
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Mama
I love you still
Goodbye, Mama
It hurts too real
I whisper, "Mom, goodbye"
I whisper, "Mom, goodbye"
I will always love you
I will always love you
[Verse 2]
Your cap sits by the window
Your photo in her hand
The flag on the table
Folds like a trembling plan
Daddy keeps on crying
He can't say a thing
Just stares at that old uniform
And the silence it brings
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your chair, your boots
Your name on my tongue
The room goes so quiet
When the truth comes on
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Mama
I love you still
Goodbye, Mama
It hurts too real
I whisper, "Mom, goodbye"
I whisper, "Mom, goodbye"
I will always love you
I will always love you
[Bridge]
If I could hold you once more
I would not let go
Tell the wind I'm trying
To carry what I know
Your love stays in this house
In every tear that falls
In the folded flag
And the way you called
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Mama
I love you still
Goodbye, Mama
It hurts too real
I whisper, "Mom, goodbye"
I whisper, "Mom, goodbye"
I will always love you
I will always love you
