Another sunrise in the skyline
Gon' wake me up 'til I come home
Spending my days in this wasteland
With dirt on my face and a gun to hold
Another day out in the combat
Gon' wake me up scared to death
The sun is raging, sweat on my face
Lord knows I ain't getting much rest
So come wake me up when I get lonely
I'm out here thinking about my girl
I'm just a soldier fighting for something
Got your picture halfway 'round the world
Another gunshot kills the silence
Gon' wake me up when I tired
Another dustcloud coming towards me
And we take cover 'til it rolls by
So come wake me up when I get lonely
I'm out here thinking about you babe
I'm just a soldier fighting for something
And your love it gives me strength
Another fallen Texas Ranger
Gon' wake me up to rest his head
He gave it all just to serve his country
When those towers came caving in
So come wake me up when I get lonely
I'm out here thinking about coming home
I'm just a soldier fighting for something
Wishing I had my girl to hold
Another sunrise in the skyline
Gon' wake me up 'til I come home
