DT Jacobs - The Journey (feat. Rob Lamothe)

I got home the other day
My dad was sitting on the porch swing
He said, "Son, I got to tell you something"
I just got the news today
They said I got three to six best case
As his eyes welled up, in a broken voice he said
Son I need to take a ride
I need to see my buddies one last time
Will you take this journey with me
Son I'm gonna hit the road
I got to see their names upon 'The Wall'
Please take this journey with me
Time's run me ragged
But those memories never fade
I can still see all their faces
I remember all their names
I can still hear Casey's laugh
I can still see Big Jay's smile
And Tommy was such a goofball
We nicknamed him Gomer Pyle
But boy could he fight
Son I need to take a ride
I need to see my buddies one last time
Will you take this journey with me
Son I'm gonna hit the road
I got to see their names upon 'The Wall'
Please take this journey with me
Gibbs and Olsen both got killed
Trying to take some goddamn hill
That we never needed in the first place
Christensen was my best friend
He was killed on November 10th
Just a few weeks left in country
Son I need to take a ride
I need to see my buddies one last time
Will you take this journey with me
Son I'm gonna hit the road
I got to see their names upon 'The Wall'
Please take this journey with me
My dad died the other day
We laid him to rest the usual way
But with an honor guard
While 'Taps' played
I held his hand as he faded
In his final moments he said
Our journey's my most cherished memory
Son I need to take a ride
I need to see my buddies one last time
Will you take this journey with me
Son I'm gonna hit the road
I got to see their names upon 'The Wall'
Please take this journey with me
