The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home Lyrics By Justin Moore

    tour was up middle of june
    she was plannin’ a welcome home barbecue
    green bean casserole grandma’s recipe
    there was a knock on the door around two o’clock
    two uniforms and her heart stopped
    yellow ribbon ’round an oak tree blowin’ in the breeze

    here’s to the ones that didn’t make it back home
    the ones we ain’t seen in so long
    the hold up a beer ones
    the wish they were here ones
    the not forgotten but gone
    in a better place up there
    but they sure left a hole down here
    we just go on livin’ and go on missin’
    the ones the ones that didn’t make it back home

    the whole town shut down the whole town showed up
    sang amazing grace watched a slide show of
    his years there was laughs and there was tears
    and that preacher talked about sacrifice
    and traffic stopped for them cadillac lights
    johnny sold beer half priced that night
    and everybody raised ’em high singin’

    here’s to the ones that didn’t make it back home
    the ones we ain’t seen in so long
    the hold up a beer ones
    the wish they were here ones
    the not forgotten but gone
    in a better place up there
    but they sure left a hole down here
    we just go on livin’ and go on missin’
    the ones the ones that didn’t make it back home

    back to that front porch
    back through that front door
    to the life they were fightin’ for

    here’s to the ones that didn’t make it back home
    the ones we ain’t seen in so long
    the hold up a beer ones
    the wish they were here ones
    the not forgotten but gone
    in a better place up there
    but they sure left a hole down here
    we just go on livin’ and go on missin’
    the ones the ones that didn’t make it back home
    the ones that didn’t make it back home
