Seth's Song Lyrics

That boy down the hall says he leaves early fall

And he swears he'll come back a changed man

His high school dreams were colored in Army green

And he's headed straight for over seas, oh yeah

He wakes up at 3 am

Straps on his boots, he's out the door again

He says goodbye to his family, his kid

And they all pray he comes back home again, oh yeah

But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes

Or the demons that he fights each and every night

Just so we can do what it is that we want to

Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue

He stands out on that corner every day

Just begs for a stranger to give him a break

He don't mean in your pocket, when he says that he wants change

All he wants is to feel okay

But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes

Or the demons that he fights each and every night

Just so we can do what it is that we want to

Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue

5150 now he's on the phone

Just tryin' not to feel alone

He don't mean where he grew up, when he says he wants to go home

He's on the edge, and says God only knows

But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes

Or the demons that he fights each and every night

Just so we can do what it is that we want to

Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue

Yeah and he gave his life for the red, white, and blue
