The stakes were high that day
But when country called
He couldn't just walk away
He sentaletter every day
Andjust like all rage
In only amother's way
She knew what he meant to say

"Wait for me to come back home"
"When everyone has given up hope"
"And they stop drinkin' to my name"
"Wait for me" "Wait for me"
"Wait for me" "And I'll return to you"

Twenty four is young
She spent every day afraid for her son
She heard his voice in her head saying
"If I come back, it'll be 'cause you held on"
"No, don't give me up for gone"

"Wait for me to come back home"
"When everyone has given up hope"
"And they stop drinkin' to my name"
"Wait for me" "Wait for me"
"Wait for me" "And I'll return to you"

For years and years
The only face she saw was
The face of an angel the face of an angel
The face of an angel sayin', "I'll return"

"So, wait for me to come back home"
"When everyone has given up hope"
"And they stop drinkin' to my name"
"Wait for me" (The face of an angel)
"Wait for me" (The face of an angel)
"Wait for me" (The face of an angel)
"Wait for me" (The face of an angel)
"Wait for me" (The face of an angel)
"Wait for me" (The face of an angel)
"Wait for me" (The face of an angel)
"Wait for me" (The face of an angel)
