What Hurts the Most

What hurts the most is your not home what hurts the most, is you left no note you left without saying goodbye you've done it before but it was worse this time I wasn't around or about that day, I laid in the coast of a near by bay I laid face down in the sand not about to take a stand I understood that you had to go your country needed you oh, oh but what hurts the most I wasn't home what hurts the most you had to go dad come home we miss you the ranch the mountains the incredible views but you're fighting in a war no combat can be igored but what hurts the most is you're not home what hurts the most is there's no phone for when I want to say hello or to say I feel yellow what hurts the most is I didn't say goodbye what hurts the most is me thinking there won't be a next time. Based on a true event.
