lyrics

NOBODY TO GREET YOU
Gary Washock / Jay Clementi

600 miles away deployed in a gulf port town
She didn’t want to be a part-time single mom no way no how
But it was my duty to do my job and I loved it too
I lied when I said baby, I do it for the kids and I do it for you
And there’s no one but me to cuss
When the families are pulling up

And there’s nobody to greet you at the plane
Nobody to greet you at the plane
That kinda lonely hurts so bad
You’re the last one left on the damn tarmac
Nobody to greet you at the plane

Was everything you missed in vein
All those candle birthday wishes
A thousand goodnight daddy kisses
It drives you insane - when there’s nobody
To greet you at the plane

Sometimes mistakes have a silver-lining blessing
I got a second chance to be a family man, i learned my lesson
I’m just thankful she didn’t know that old Seabee
She deserves so much more she deserves the new me
I’m so proud of the life we’ve made
And I’ll never go back to those days

When there’s nobody to greet you at the plane
Nobody to greet you at the plane
That kinda lonely hurts so bad
You’re the last one left on the damn tarmac
Nobody to greet you at the plane

Was everything you missed in vein
All those candle birthday wishes
A thousand goodnight daddy kisses
It drives you insane - when there’s nobody
To greet you at the plane

When there’s nobody to greet you at the plane
Nobody to greet you at the plane
That kinda lonely hurts so bad
You’re the last one left on the damn tarmac
Nobody to greet you at the plane

It will make you cry it will make you change
Now I’m there for those birthday wishes
And a thousand goodnight daddy kisses
It drives you insane - when there’s nobody
To greet you at the plane
