[Intro: Military; J-Deuce]
And if you ask her why the heck she's worried
And if you ask her why the heck she's worried
She's worried for that soldier who is far far away
What?
Nah, she's worried for the devil, Dog who is far far away
[Chorus: Nina Deli]
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again
When you come home to me
[Verse 1: J-Deuce]
He said "I'm sorry, but we just got work today
That the Captain's fiendin' for some action C-130's on the way"
She was quiet, time to pack up, she ain't have much to say
But in the back of her mind, she wanna go back to L.A
But they got one on the way, so everyday he calls
She says she's tired of deployments, lonely, staring at the wall
Every night, hold his picture tight, the baby's getting tall
And he looks just like his daddy, but he don't know him at all
And the bills keep gettin' worse, with a empty purse and now she's stressin'
On the first phone got cut off, cable and internet connection
She said "It happens every goddamn time, why the f** didn't you listen?"
"I told you powers of attorney dont mean sh** in my position!"
"I'm not b**hin, I'm just sayin', I keep prayin' for your safety
While the baby needs some diaper, hyper, tryna' drive me crazy"
I'm a military wife, and I hate this life, thought you should know it
But when you come home I'll act like its all good and never show it
[Chorus: Nina Deli]
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again
When you come home to me
[Verse 2: J-Deuce]
He's only back for a minute, but from the beginning
She knew he was in it from start to the finish
Sometimes she regrets it, sometimes it's a blessing
But either way - She will support him, no question
Never a burden, always protect him
Always stay runnin' in different directions
East to the west, leaving the nest in a second
A couple of drinks to release the aggression
"Your son is in school, he's loving his kinder
He's got a crush on Mrs.Carter, his teacher
Gotten so big, i gotta send you a picture
Got him in soccer, excelent kicker
But what should i say? It's breaking his heart!
The other kids play with their dad in the park
Some days, he sits all alone in the yard
Or goes in his room and cries in the dark"
And it's not quite fair that he's not all there
Cause the dinner table's got an extra chair
Extra spot, nobody there, extra pop pie mom prepared
It's extra hot cause they have no air
The sink and the pot they all need repair
It's leaking a lot, they're antiques I swear
The keys and the locks and the weeds need care
Declares - she's not gonna take it
Few more weeks and she's not gonna make it
Gets in the car, loads up the babies
Wanted to leave but the phone keeps vibrating
"Hi Baby" wipes her tears
Hears his voice, no more fears
Although she knows later on this year
He's leaving again, for now he's here
[Bridge: Nina Deli]
I saw you again, I knew just where you'd be
I'll stop this, real soon when you're back safe with me
[Chorus: Nina Deli]
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again
When you come home to me
