Battlesong
c 2012 Katey Laurel

I've been on the road so long
This is all I can afford to give
Just a sad and lonely battlesong
Of a soldier marching in the war to live

Pick 'em up and put 'em down
My soul’s worn thinner than my smile
These boots were made to cover ground
I think I’d like to lay ‘em down awhile

You won't let the sun go down again
You remind me who I've always been
Just a hometown hero coming back to be where I belong
No more battlesongs

Worn and weary, here I stand
Your open arms are all I'm longing for
I leave behind the foreign lands
So glad to finally wash up on your shore

You won't let the sun go down again
You remind me who I've always been
Just a hometown hero coming back to be where I belong
No more battlesongs

Bridge:
I see buildings, houses down the street
Friendly strangers where we used to meet
And it feels like a reunion of the souls I'll greet someday
All the ones I passed along the way

I am coming
Coming home
I am coming
Coming home
I am coming
Coming home

You won't let the sun go down again
You remind me who I've always been
Just a hometown hero coming back to be where I belong
cause you won't let the sun go down again
You remind me who I've always been
