The Home Front - Drive-By Truckers

The hours creep across the face as she paces 'cross the floor

She can’t even get to sleep since Tony went to war

She feels bitch-slapped and abandoned by a world she thought she knew

Cold beyond comprehension as their little girl turns two

And now they’re saying on the flat screen they ain’t found the reason yet

We’re all bogged down in a quagmire and there ain’t no end to it

No Nine-Eleven or Uranium to pin this bullshit on

She’s left standing on the home front, the two of them alone
