lyrics

We were in missouri
When the call came on
They were shippin you off
To vietnam
To kill them people in the vietcong
You were there and then were gone
I remember you bein torn about it
You never said much
But your eyes did scream
You said you had to go
So you went and i cried
For 13 months
Till they told me you died

Maybe That was the last time
I ever felt like a kid
I catch a glimpse of that feeling
Every now and then
When I catch em broadcast the cardinals
On the radio
Visiting mama in the fall at her nursing home
When they call a home run
I think of you
how youd be Comin undone
How you'd be coming unglued
You always loved the game
I've always tried to do the same
And some days the pain is too much
I can hardly make it through
But when I'm driving in Missouri in the fall
With the windows down and baseball
I can't help but think it's true
That I'm driving home to you

The day we buried you up on the hill
We were left alone with a hole to fill
I was numb to the pain
Mama just sat still
With a blank stare and a broken smile
I tried to stick around but it was hard to do
With a futures' unfolding and the past is glue
I said I gotta go so I went and we cried
Had to grow up again in the blink of an eye

maybe That was the last time
I ever felt like a kid
I catch a glimpse of that feeling
Every now and then
When I catch em broadcast the cardinals
On the radio
Visiting mama in the fall at her nursing home
When they call a home run
I think of you
how youd be Comin undone
How you'd be coming unglued
You always loved the game
I've always tried to do the same
And some days the pain is too much
I can hardly make it through
But when I'm driving in Missouri in the fall
With the windows down and baseball
I can't help but think it's true
That I'm driving home to you
