[Verse 1] I come to town with nothing but the clothes on my back For I am a Soldier I been fighting in Iraq for Uncle Sam I have no place to live she took everything I own I lost my wife and kids to another man [Pre-Chorus] She couldn't take that I was gone for so long so she didn't stick around Oh lord you know my heart is not that strong [Chorus] My world stopped that's when my world stopped Four long years and I still can't move on My world stopped when I got off that plane I counted every minute till I came back home [Verse 2] It's been four long years since I've seen my kids Do they think of me or call another man dad For I have been gone for four long years And counted every minute till I got off that plane [Bridge] Now I'm standing in the dust with an empty set of hands Hoping little hearts remember the man they used to know If they hear my name will they still hold on Or did I disappear while the years rolled by [Chorus] My world stopped that's when my world stopped Four long years and I still can't move on My world stopped when I got off that plane I counted every minute till I came back home
