Your comfort is under the stars at night
Wherever your head may lay
Now it lays low inside of the fight
As your life depends on staying awake

From the lowlands of the country
To the high tension of lawless disorder
Uncle Sam holds your dreams along with the key
As you find yourself sleeping with soldiers

It once was just you and your girl May Lou
Now it's more like Frank, Bob, and Bill
Sharing nightmares at night while in daytime you fight
Reality of **** or be killed

You don't dare let the men see you cry
You save that for under the covers
When you were a kid as sure as you now live
You never dreamed you'd be sleeping with soldiers

Missing mommas cooking back home makes you feel alone
Although you never really are
Scared for your life keeps you company all of the time
And you know that's bound to leave a scare

Making your way through one more frightful day
Hoping tomorrow you wake up one day older
But until that time you'll lay under the sky
As you continue sleeping with soldiers
