Roxie Dean - A Soldier's Wife lyrics

Breaking news from a desert town Smoke and rubble on the ground The names we do not know right now And it cuts me like a knife With a tearful goodbye kiss I sent him off to this But I've gotta stay strong for our kids I'm a soldier's wife I run the house I sleep alone I live for emails And the phone calls home I tell my children he will be all right And i hope it's not a lie I'm a soldier's wife We do the things we used to do Go to church, go to school But you could drive a truck right through The hole that's in our life My little boy shoots me a grin And says he wants to be like him And I feel my heart start caving in I'm a soldier's wife Sometimes I'm angry Sometimes confused I live and die by The evening news But I tell my babies he will be all right And I hope it's not a lie I'm a soldier's wife I pray for strength I pray for peace I pray that he comes home to me And if you would please pray for me I'm a soldier's wife
