My daddy left home 'fore I met him My mama knew that I was sad She brought home a puppy named Charlie T'was the best dog that I ever had We hung out each morning and evening Till kindergarten took me away And Charlie would stand by the door looking lonely I'd look down at him and I'd say
Charlie I'll be home soon And then we can be together You'll give me a lick, and we'll head down the crick Me and you we'll be buddies forever So don't let your heart fill with gloom I'm coming home soon
I never was much of a scholar Dropped out when I was seventeen One day a recruiter came a-knockin' And soon I became a Marine I figured I'd put in my time Sort out what I wanted to do But Afghanistan wasn't part of the plan Now I'm up in a tower with a gun in my hand Then I got me a letter from Mama She said that you died by the door Waiting for the day when I'd come home to play Like I'd done so often before
Saying Charlie I'll be home soon And I know that you're gonna be waiting I'll toss you a stick, and we'll head down the crick There's a couple of hooks that need baiting In the heat of a long afternoon I'm coming home soon
The end of my tour was nearing In a couple of days I'd be free Came the moment I'd always been fearing Heard the blast of an IED
I think I'll head home for the summer Dig out my creel and my pole Me an my dog will just sit on a log By the edge of the old fishing hole I'm thinking 'bout my mama and Charlie Wish it would last forever In my last dying breath as I face my own death I said "Charlie we'll soon be together"
Charlie I'll be home soon We'll go on a hike through the canyon I'll take you away for a long summer day And you'll always be my companion By the light of a gold harvest moon I'm coming home soon
