Yeah… warm summer day, minivan wheels on the gravel… This one’s for the ones who came home… just not the way we Angels don’t cry for me, mama, don’t you break down now I’m standin’ right behind you, but I took a different route Tell my babies keep they head up, tell my wife I’m still around Angels don’t cry for me… they just carry me on home Minivan creepin’, pull up slow like the world just paused Sun cuttin’ through the windshield, but it don’t feel warm Door slide open, twelve-year-old legs hit the grass and fold Ten-year-old on the steps, little man already know Grandma stumblin’ out the passenger, knees in the dirt Holdin’ my princess while her whole universe hurt Wife step out the driver side, face made of stone Walk right past our boy, can’t even look at home I’m posted by the screen door, dress blues still clean Watchin’ my whole world shatter in a single scene Whisper to the wind, “These my angels, Lord, look at ’em glow I laid it on the line in the desert so freedom could grow Taught ’em how to love, how to catch, how to stand up tall Now I’m beggin’ Heaven—don’t let my fall make my babies fall” I don’t want no tears on my account Just want ’em smilin’ when they say my name out Angels don’t cry for me, mama, don’t you break down now I’m standin’ right behind you, but I took a different route Tell my babies keep they head up, tell my wife I’m still around Angels don’t cry for me… they just carry me on Wife walk straight through me—cold like I’m already ghost Turn to the living room, light brighter than most Big wings in the corner, gold aura, no sound Homie look like warfare and peace in the same crown He nod once—no words, contract already signed I salute with my eyes, ’cause real soldiers don’t resign I see the flashbacks: laughin’ in the yard, her in that sundress Me teachin’ Jr. how to grip a curveball, no stress Now the flag gonna fold, twenty-one shots crack the sky But up here time freeze—man, angels don’t even cry They just lock arms with the ones who paid the price And march us through the gates where the streets shine So when you hear that screen door creak on a quiet night When the wind chimes sing a little different in the pale moonlight That’s me checkin’ on my babies, kissin’ foreheads soft and slow Tell ’em Daddy didn’t leave—Daddy just had to go [Final Hook – Full choir, 808s hit hard, steel guitar cries] Angels don’t cry for me, put your lighters in the air Every fallen soldier’s watchin’, we ain’t never leave y’all, swear From Arlington to them dirt roads, we still ridin’ in the breeze Angels don’t cry for us… they just carry us to peace [Outro – Spoken over fading banjo and heartbeat kick] To every gold star family holdin’ it down… Your hero ain’t gone. He just standin’ at a different kind of attention now. We got the watch from here. Y’all just keep livin’. That’s an order. (Steel guitar and trap snare fade into silence… then one last soft knock on the screen door.)
Lyrics
Yeah… warm summer day, minivan wheels on the gravel…
This one’s for the ones who came home… just not the way we
Angels don’t cry for me, mama, don’t you break down now
I’m standin’ right behind you, but I took a different route
Tell my babies keep they head up, tell my wife I’m still around
Angels don’t cry for me… they just carry me on home
Minivan creepin’, pull up slow like the world just paused
Sun cuttin’ through the windshield, but it don’t feel warm
Door slide open, twelve-year-old legs hit the grass and fold
Ten-year-old on the steps, little man already know
Grandma stumblin’ out the passenger, knees in the dirt
Holdin’ my princess while her whole universe hurt
Wife step out the driver side, face made of stone
Walk right past our boy, can’t even look at home
I’m posted by the screen door, dress blues still clean
Watchin’ my whole world shatter in a single scene
Whisper to the wind, “These my angels, Lord, look at ’em glow
I laid it on the line in the desert so freedom could grow
Taught ’em how to love, how to catch, how to stand up tall
Now I’m beggin’ Heaven—don’t let my fall make my babies fall”
I don’t want no tears on my account
Just want ’em smilin’ when they say my name out
Angels don’t cry for me, mama, don’t you break down now
I’m standin’ right behind you, but I took a different route
Tell my babies keep they head up, tell my wife I’m still around
Angels don’t cry for me… they just carry me on
Wife walk straight through me—cold like I’m already ghost
Turn to the living room, light brighter than most
Big wings in the corner, gold aura, no sound
Homie look like warfare and peace in the same crown
He nod once—no words, contract already signed
I salute with my eyes, ’cause real soldiers don’t resign
I see the flashbacks: laughin’ in the yard, her in that sundress
Me teachin’ Jr. how to grip a curveball, no stress
Now the flag gonna fold, twenty-one shots crack the sky
But up here time freeze—man, angels don’t even cry
They just lock arms with the ones who paid the price
And march us through the gates where the streets shine
So when you hear that screen door creak on a quiet night
When the wind chimes sing a little different in the pale moonlight
That’s me checkin’ on my babies, kissin’ foreheads soft and slow
Tell ’em Daddy didn’t leave—Daddy just had to go
Angels don’t cry for me, put your lighters in the air
Every fallen soldier’s watchin’, we ain’t never leave y’all, swear
From Arlington to them dirt roads, we still ridin’ in the breeze
Angels don’t cry for us… they just carry us to peaceTo every gold star family holdin’ it down…
Your hero ain’t gone.
He just standin’ at a different kind of attention now.
We got the watch from here.
Y’all just keep livin’.
That’s an order.
(Steel guitar and trap snare fade into silence… then one last soft knock on the screen door.)
