“Those guys were frontline brothers / Their lives depended on each other / They were soldiers long before they were men / Yeah, the ones that somehow survived / Came home went on to build their lives / Never charging us a penny for the debt we owe to them / But you can almost smell the gun smoke in the foxhole that they shared / On the days they raise their coffees and toast the empty chair,” he sings in the chorus.
