It's amazing what this stuff does. You open up and have so many words to say

Listen I'm not going to beat you around the bush. From one man to another
Eye to eye, heart to heart. I'm talking straight up, brother

You say time and time again your success couldn't be achieved without all your trusted parts
Please, this is no time to be humble, you are the key, without you, that car doesn't start

You play so many roles beyond that of the one you do in uniform
Every second of every day, you bring the ship in through potentially terrible storms

And then the outside world takes a look at your troops. They see numbers. They're doing good.
The stress of this thing is destroying you. Your favorite place right now would be a cold ambulance hood

Straight up, I love you brother. Thank you for what you give me. Above all you're a great therapist
From man and hand to hand, here's a cold Miller lite for your fist.
