Another sunrise in the skyline,
Gon' wake me up 'til I come home,
Spending my days in this wasteland,
With dirt on my face and a gun to hold
Another day out in the combat,
Gon' wake me up scared to death,
The sun is raging, sweat on my face,
Lord knows I aint getting much rest
So come wake me up when I get lonely,
I'm out here thinking about my girl,
I'm just a soldier fighting for something,
Got your picture halfway 'round the world
Another gunshot kills the silence,
Gon' wake me up when I tired,
Another dustcloud coming towards me,
And we take cover 'til it rolls by
So come wake me up when I get lonely,
I'm out here thinking about you babe,
I'm just a soldier fighting for something,
And your love it gives me strength
Another fallen Texas Ranger,
Gon' wake me up to rest his head,
He gave it all just to serve his country,
When those towers came caving in
So come wake me up when I get lonely,
I'm out here thinking about coming home,
I'm just a soldier fighting for something,
Wishing I had my girl to hold
Another sunrise in the skyline,
Gon' wake me up 'til I come home
