Lyrics
[Verse]
Mama slipped away on a cold autumn night,
Left a boy with a heart that didn’t feel right.
Daddy tried to catch him, but he ran too fast,
A shadow of a boy the world outgrew so fast.
[Verse 2]
Dreams of playing big under bright stadium lights,
Chased ‘em hard ‘til they disappeared in the night.
Failures lined the highway like crosses on the hill,
He kept on running, but he’s standing still.
[Chorus]
Now the road gets quiet, there's no more fight,
The stars have dimmed, and he’s lost his light.
Ready to lay down in the arms of the sky,
A boy’s long goodbye, a boy’s long goodbye.
[Verse 3]
Signed a name that wasn’t steady in the line,
The Corps shaped a man, gave him time to refine.
But battles waged inside, harsher than the field,
Some wars are fought, some wounds don’t heal.
[Verse 4]
Life kept going, but it wasn’t really lived,
The bucket ran dry with nothin’ left to give.
He’d stare at the mirror without knowing the man,
A soldier’s strength, but no master plan.
[Chorus]
Now the road gets quiet, there's no more fight,
The stars have dimmed, and he’s lost his light.
Ready to lay down in the arms of the sky,
A boy’s long goodbye, a boy’s long goodbye.
