Thousand Yard Stare

You should have called me a brother
You should have been real close
But you knew I loved you brother
Enough to take over your post

I guess it’s always with me
I guess it will always be there
As I step on the runway I always will see
The boy with the thousand yard stare (thousand yard stare)

But you were asleep my brother
I didn’t mean you no harm
You were asleep when they came through the wire
And I couldn’t reach the alarm

I guess it’s always with me
I guess it will always be there
As I step on the runway I always will see
The boy with the thousand yard stare (thousand yard stare…)

You’ll never leave me brother
Though I watched them fly you back home
I’m still in country brother
I won’t make the world on my own

I guess it’s always with me
I guess it will always be there
As I step on the runway I always will see
The boy with the thousand yard stare

I guess it’s always with me
I guess it will always be there
As I step on the runway I always will see
The boy with the thousand yard stare (thousand yard stare…)
The boy with the thousand yard stare
The boy with the thousand yard stare
