Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tour was up in middle of June
She was planning a welcome home barbeque
Green bean casserole, Grandma's recipe
There was a knock on the door around two o'clock
Two uniforms and her heart stopped
Yellow ribbon 'round an oak tree
Blowin' in the breeze
[Chorus]
And here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
The ones we ain't seen in so long
The hold up a beer ones
The wish they were here ones
The not forgotten but gone
In a better place up there
But they sure left a hole down here
We just go on living and go on missin' the ones
The ones that didn't make it back home
[Verse 2]
The whole town shut down, the whole town showed up
Sang Amazing Grace, watched a slideshow of his twenty two years
There was laughs and there was tears
And that preacher talked about sacrifice
And the traffic stopped for them Cadillac lines
Johnny sold beer half price that night
And everybody raised 'em high singin'
[Chorus]
Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
The ones we ain't seen in so long
The hold up a beer ones
The wish they were here ones
The not forgotten but gone
In a better place up there
But they sure left a hole down here
We just go on living and go on missin' the ones
The ones that didn't make it back home
[Bridge]
Back to that front porch
Back through that front door
To the life they were fighting for
[Chorus]
Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
The ones we ain't seen in so long
The hold up a beer ones
The wish they were here ones
The not forgotten but gone
They're in a better place up there
But they sure left a hole down here
We just go on living and go on missin' the ones
The ones that didn't make it back home
[Outro]
The ones that didn't make it back home
