Song Concept: Freedom isn't rree and some gave All for that freedom. Men and women are making the ultimate sacrifice for the U.S.A. right now while we attend to our daily affairs. The song is from the perspective of a fallen war hero and his impressions and thoughts as he arrives for the last time home from war after nearly a full tour of duty.

Lyrics

One long year, ten months and a day since I arrive here
Fifty nine more and I'd be able to say, I'm done
Sam and Dave both got to stay and fight the fear
I wish I'd stayed 'til it was won.

I'm all packed up now, my planes about to leave
My first class ride is the best, and now I'm headin' West
I'm due to arrive there right on time this time tomorrow . . .
But I can't stay . . .
I've got to go, Peter's waitin' for me at the gate

Tell Mama that I love her like no other
I'm really gonna miss my sister and brother
Tell my buddies up in Calhoun and down in Rome
Don't cry for me 'cause I'm finally . . . headed home

Hey Look . . . there's my ridin' buddies, Steve & Joe & Mike
The PGR must be here too, look at all them bikes
Hey rev 'em up now . . . let me hear them engines roar.
Look at the party that they all have in store.

Look there's Grandpa and Daddy, they're both wavin' at me
Sweet Aunt Ester and Jane and look, there's Uncle Steve
Don't worry about me 'cause I'm really not alone
In fact I'm glad . . . now I'm finally headed home
