To enlist in the [hold]Neigh veeeee [Bridge] A year passed by and a car crunched through the driveway Two navy men got out to tell us my daddy was M I A Handed us a flag, thanked us for his service and then they drove away And we’ve been waitin on this porch swing, ever since that day [Chorus] And we’re lookin' down that road like he might come back any time Ever since the day he left us here in nineteen ninety-nine Holdin' on to dreams we had that never came to be Eat our meals all by ourselves at a table set for three Oh and me and momma know he’s said his last goodbye Guess there’s a truth to what they say Heroes never die 🎶 "Heroes Never Diie" is a song about a family who knows the cost of freedom.
