PARENTS AND SOLDIERS
Alisha Cotner / Scott Cotner / Georgia Middleman

A couple dumb kids who after two months
Decided we were going to marry
You said you didn’t want a soldier but now the joke is on you
Cause this life is nothing short of legendary

Two beautiful kids that we can be proud of
After all that we’ve been through
I’m so proud of this love

Parents and soldiers
Lovers and friends
It’s been really nice
Getting to know you again
38 years old, 15 years together
And now we’re finding out we kind a like each other
And that we’re so much more
Than parents and soldiers

I was a military wife a stay at home mom
But now I get live the life I wanted
I was a body in armor, an instrument of war
But I’m slowly finding I’m no longer haunted

We’ve lost so many friends cause their war never did end
Let’s make sure that that’s not us
That’s why we’re learning how to bend

Parents and soldiers
Lovers and friends
It’s been really nice
Getting to know you again
38 years old, 15 years together
And now we’re finding out we kind a like each other
And that we’re so much more
Than parents and soldiers
