Baby, tomorrow I'ma have to fight
Leaving at first light and all I can think of is you
Baby, I can hear you tryin' not to cry
I'm afraid and I ain't gonna lie, I gotta do what I've been trained to do

I'm a little tired but I'm doin' fine
I got my brothers back and he's watching mine
Just keep praying that we'll all make it through

I fight for what's right and I fight for what is true
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you
We don't see black, we don't see white, we don't see what we have to do
All we see is red, white and blue, fighting for our red, white and blue

Baby, how's our little baby girl?
Does she know her daddy's half way 'round the world?
Tell her she is my heart
Well, I've only seen her in a photograph, don't know whether to cry or laugh
While I'm out here in the dark

I get so damn tired but I'm doin' fine
Got my brothers back and he's watchin' mine
Just keep prayin' that we'll all make it through

I fight for what's right and I fight for what is true
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you
We don't see black, we don't see white, we don't see what we have to do
All we see is red, white and blue, fighting for our red, white and blue

I don't know the reasons why
Sometimes at night I just sit and cry
It's hard for me to tell you what I'm goin' through
What I'm goin', goin' through

When all we have is this telephone
On my telephone
I Don't know when I'll be comin' home
I just need you to keep praying that I do

I fight for what's right and I fight for what is true
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you
We don't see black, we don't see white, we don't see what we have to do
All we see is red, white and blue, all we see is red, white and blue
Fighting for our red, white and blue
