The Journey ft. Rob Lamothe Lyrics

I got home the other day

My dad was sitting on the porch swing

He said, "Son, I got to tell you something"

I just got the news today

They said I got three to six best case

As his eyes welled up, in a broken voice he said

Son I need to take a ride

I need to see my buddies one last time

Will you take this journey with me

Son I'm gonna hit the road

I got to see their names upon 'The Wall'

Please take this journey with me

Time's run me ragged

But those memories never fade

I can still see all their faces

I remember all their names

I can still hear Casey's laugh

I can still see Big Jay's smile

And Tommy was such a goofball

We nicknamed him Gomer Pyle

But boy could he fight

Son I need to take a ride

I need to see my buddies one last time

Will you take this journey with me

Son I'm gonna hit the road

I got to see their names upon 'The Wall'

Please take this journey with me

Gibbs and Olsen both got killed

Trying to take some goddamn hill

That we never needed in the first place

Christensen was my best friend

He was killed on November 10th

Just a few weeks left in country

Son I need to take a ride

I need to see my buddies one last time

Will you take this journey with me

Son I'm gonna hit the road

I got to see their names upon 'The Wall'

Please take this journey with me

My dad died the other day

We laid him to rest the usual way

But with an honor guard

While 'Taps' played

I held his hand as he faded

In his final moments he said

Our journey's my most cherished memory

Son I need to take a ride

I need to see my buddies one last time

Will you take this journey with me

Son I'm gonna hit the road

I got to see their names upon 'The Wall'

Please take this journey with me
