VETERAN FIGHTER
You see the moon in the mirror tonight
As you pull it onto 35 South
You got a lot upon your mind tonight
And so you took a ride to figure it out
The years went by like strangers that you might
Have recognized if they didn’t walk away
Into the waiting night
Don’t back down yet it’ll get brighter
Stand your ground like a veteran fighter
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now
Don’t back down yet it’ll get brighter
Stand your ground like a veteran fighter
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now
You see your baby in the stars tonight
As you pull it onto 35 South
You know she wonders where you are tonight
And whether you could ever figure it out
Been a while since you could hold her hand
She’s so kind, she smiles
And says she understands
Don’t back down yet it’ll get brighter
Stand your ground like a veteran fighter
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now
Don’t back down yet it’ll get brighter
Stand your ground like a veteran fighter
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now
