Lyrics:

The dust had barely settled
He had the taste of metal
And gunpowder in his mouth
He rolled over to his buddy
Both of them were bloody

But from the looks of things
They'd both make it out
Grabbed him by the shoulder
Said, I guess we'll live to fight
Another day again, come on, man

Sometimes this life ain't easy
Sometimes life ain't fair
More than once it felt
Like you didn't have a prayer

And that's when
You wanna ask the Lord
To help you understand
And say, 'Come on, man'

Pulled a 20 from his pocket
Said don't worry I got it
As that barkeep poured another round
He'd been laid off since last Christmas
Said, 'Man, if I don't get this job
Then my last choice is going down'

Standing in the that welfare line
If my dad were still alive
He'd say, 'Son, you still got those 2 hands
Come on, man'

Sometimes this life ain't easy
Sometimes life ain't fair
More than once
It felt like you didn't have a prayer

And that's when
You wanna ask the Lord
To help you understand
And say, 'Come on, man'

When I finally cross over
Walk through those fields of clover
That's when I hope I'll hear him say

I never said it'd be easy
Never said it'd be fair
But every time you hit your knees
I heard your every prayer

Now it's all behind you
Son, you're in the promised land
Welcome home, come on, man
