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
