Wind is blowin strong today The Sand is everywhere I Cant see the convoy front Sometimes its hard to bear Back in camp shake it off and the sand falls to the floor What never falls is the empty feeling that makes me need you more I got your picture in my wallet Its the thing that pulls me through I Keep doin my job the best I can Till I come home to you
CHORUS Im a son -a Dad -The one you love Im a man in uniform When I see those smiling eyes again Ill Know Ill know Ive stood the storm
As a C17 rollin up the tarmack Shes bringin in whats real She holds our wounded warriors And flags drapped over steel I grab my kit and head on out The flight line stings my face Well Turn her around shell head for home Rise to the sky with grace There are thousands more just like me Everyone a volunteer Were gonna stand up to this hurricane For as long as we are here
(CHORUS)
Its the end of another 14 hours Running around the tock I used to stop at quittin time But here there aint no clock Im doing what I can To keep those Black Hawk pilots running safe Got to help them plan the missions Got to help them keep the faith And today Ive seen so many men Some that stood and some that fell Im hoping that Im helping them Most times it hard to tell Then I see it in their faces Its a calm that comes with trust Its a hope -A strength -A bravery I admire them so much
