Daddy ain't coming home yeah (coming home, coming home)
Daddy ain't coming home yeah (coming home, coming home)
'Cause he was shot down on patrol yeah (on patrol ya)
Protecting the neighborhood
Daddy ain't coming home
Wouldn't save myself instead of you
Now I'm dressed in black, instead of blue

Tell me why the message only suit you and me
Tell me why we're ignoring how the blue bleed
Tell me why I'm speaking up at a eulogy
And those red-handed never face the scrutiny
It's stupid foolish unruly and hopeless to believe
A group would troop and choose the responsibility
'Cause just last week 4 more dead
And now little Mikey sitting hands on his head
I seen the tears streaming and I felt my heart bled
He'll never be read a book as he's tucked into bed
The only kid on parents day alone at his desk
Trying to stay together but he knows he's a mess
Barely old enough to understand his emotions
Just got to understand hope, and now the kids hopeless
Dad never got respect from streets that he served
They see he got killed, say its what he deserved

Daddy ain't coming home yeah (coming home, coming home)
Daddy ain't coming home yeah (coming home, coming home)
'Cause he was shot down on patrol yeah (on patrol ya)
Protecting the neighborhood
Daddy ain't coming home
Wouldn't save myself instead of you
Now I'm dressed in black, instead of blue

But it wasn't all bad, ya his dad had a gun
And he'd shoot it at the range and have a lot of fun
He strap it on his side after putting on his vest
On top of Mikey's pendant that was always on his chest
A little gold rosary to keep you safe hopefully
Daddy's job is dangerous but he knows that we need saving
So he did it every day, never wanting any praising
But his son did need some raising
Started going through some phases
Taking substances at functions
And sometimes felt he barely even functioned
Dreamt of sleeping without waking up for nothing
He had a bottle in his hand and he wasn't even bluffing
Till he saw a picture of his mom and knew he'd live for something
Couldn't send her only son up to heaven that's destruction
'Stead he'd take a path like dad, protect and serving the public
Mikey'd be a hero too, he knew his dad would love it

Daddy ain't coming home yeah (coming home, coming home)
Daddy ain't coming home yeah (coming home, coming home)
'Cause he was shot down on patrol yeah (on patrol ya)
Protecting the neighborhood
Daddy ain't coming home
Wouldn't save myself instead of you
Now I'm dressed in black, instead of blue

Fast forward 7 years Mikey's in the academy
Big hero dreams, trying to roll with the cavalary
Sitting eating lunch as he flipped through a magazine
Someone called up so he wondered who that could be
Told him he was drafted be ready for command
Mikey you'll be stationed in Iran
Then one week later Mikey stepped onto the sand for the first time
Felt that everything he planned worked so now
He's on mission in a friendly zone, dialing the phone
His mom was on the line, said Mikey I want you home
One mile away the enemy was waiting down below
A place that the team couldn't see with a drone
Then they ran on the streets Mikey knew he was exposed
Next thing you know his mom just heard a dial tone
They shot a couple rounds then the Humvee exploded
That's 4 men down, and Mikey ain't coming home

Mikey ain't coming home yeah (coming home, coming home)
Mikey ain't coming home yeah (coming home, coming home)
'Cause he was shot down on patrol yeah (on patrol ya)
Just trying to fight for good
Mikey ain't coming home
Wouldn't save myself instead of you
Now I'm dressed in black, instead of blue
