I'm not an army wife
I'm not a soldier's girl
But you and I've been apart so much lately
I'm beginning to glimpse that world
And I feel for the families
Their faces on the news
With life-sized cardboard cut-outs of daddy
I turned it off and thought of making one of you
But I'm not an army wife
I'm not a soldier's girl
But you and I've been apart so much lately
I'm beginning to glimpse that world
You go to war in your way
And in mine I stay home with the kids
You call me every night
Long distance
How strong they must have to be
With their boys so far away
At least you and I can visit sometimes
But it's still not okay
'Cause I'm not an army wife
I'm not a soldier's girl
When's this war gonna end?
Baby, I want some peace in our little world
And how about peace for all those real soldiers' girls?
'Cause it hurts no matter how far away
You are too far away for us soldiers' girls
For us soldiers' girls.
