Lyrics:
They commandeer a corner table
At our smalltown diner
Just five or six old men
Throwing out corny old one liners..
They pat the heads of children, give friendly nods to strangers..
They sure seem quick to laugh, makes you think they're slow to anger
Those guys were frontline brothers,
Their lives depended on each other
They were soldiers long before they were men..
Yeah the ones that somehow survived
Came home went on to build their lives
Never charging us a penny for the debt we owe to them..but
You can almost smell the gun smoke in the foxhole that they shared
On the days they raise their coffees, and toast the empty chair..
Aww..
They'll ask you where you're from
What you do and what you've done...but
Don't go thinkin' they're all talk, cause
You wouldn't wanna piss them off...
Those guys were frontline brothers,
Their lives depended on each other
They were soldiers long before they were men..
Yeah the ones that somehow survived
Came home went on to build their lives
Never charging us a penny for the debt we owe to them..but
You can almost smell the gun smoke in the foxhole that they shared
On the days they raise their coffees, and toast the empty chair
They'll tell you anything you wanna know..but
There's one place they just won't go...cause
They don't want to ruin our dreams
By telling us the things they've seen...
Those guys were frontline brothers,
Their lives depended on each other
They were soldiers long before they were men..
Yeah the ones that somehow survived
Came home went on to build their lives
