What can you see from your window?

I can't see anything from mine

Flags on the side of the highway

And scripture on grocery store signs

Maybe eighteen was too early

Maybe thirty or forty is too

Did you get your chance to make peace with the man

Before he sent down his angels for you?

Mamas and grandmamas love you

'Cause that's all they know how to do

You never planned on the bombs in the sand

Or sleeping in your dress blues

Your wife said this all would be funny

When you came back home in a week

You'd turn twenty-two and we'd celebrate you
