My sixteen, locked and loaded
All fear has been avoided
You say the words and my weapon is drawn
This one could be my last time
Some people call it war crime
I may be staring down a lethal sight
(To die)
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I do this for my family
My daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don't know
With colors never faded
Reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all
(I'll crawl)
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I know what you're thinking
I've been there before
So think of the times, the time we spent laughing away
So think of the times at home
(Life without a care)
Now I find myself in my own blood
(Never thought I'd lay in my own blood)
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
(Never had much faith in up above)
But now, I'm hoping someone's there
I never meant to leave this world alone
I never meant to hurt the ones who cared
And all this time I thought we'd just grow old
You know, no one said it's fair
Tell my baby girl that "It's alright"
I've sung my last song today
Remind the lord to leave his light on for me
I'm free
Intro: F-C-Dm-Am-Bb-F-C x2
F C Dm Am
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

when I'm much too far away

Am Dm C Bb
I'm missing you again oh no

Once again
F C Dm Am
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
Bb F
There's no one here while the city sleeps

and all the shops are closed

Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Bb F C
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Means a war of futures hold

Foolish lies of grown and old

And seems we're so invincible

The truth is so cold

A final song, a last request

A perfect chapter laid to rest
