There's a big house on a hill Looking over all the land
There's a man who lives inside Says he couldn't give a damn
His kids of all left home, Wife left him for another man
And He's missing Seargent Johnny His best friend since Vietnam
There's a pile of cards and letters On the table he hasn't opened
Next to some bourbon and a bag of marijuana He's been smoking'
His Sister calls to tell him that she's worried how's he's coping?
But it's hard to see the stars at night When your heart is broken
Johnny was so proud that day They both headed overseas
They both knew war wasn't easy Now the old mans on his knees
There's a big hole in his heart thinks he might buckle from the pain
When a brother takes his life away You realize you'll never talk again
There's a pile of cards and letters On the table he hasn't opened
Next to some bourbon and a bag of marijuana He's been smoking'
His Sister calls to tell him that she's worried how's he's coping?
But it's hard to see the stars at night When your heart is broken
When living feels harder than dying
And You try so hard but you just can't keep from crying
Bow your head to pray There's Gonna be a better day
Oh yeah, Bow your head to pray, it's gonna be a better day
There's a pile of cards and letters On the table he hasn't opened
Next to some bourbon and a bag of marijuana He's been smoking'
His Sister calls to tell him that she's worried how's he's coping?
But it's hard to see the stars at night When your heart is broken
But it's hard to see the stars at night When your heart is broken
