Five Star Recruit

[Verse 1]
I'm worried that he's gone forever
Rookie boy on the sidelines
Here's to hoping he's gone to heaven
If he ever leaves my mind
Summer morning I feel him with me
Running though southern skies
All the blood in his teeth, oh
He had something that they couldn't see, it don't matter, 'cause to me

[Chorus]
He was a full five stars, I could have made a masterpiece
I couldn't quite start, I feel him running after me, I walk
Put two steps on the path
Oh, we thought he'd be home by now, but he's not coming back

[Verse 2]
I'm worried I'll be stuck forever
Just catching up to the timeline
And when I'm finally back in the present
I'll be so far behind
And every morning I know he's with me, 'cause
I watched him run through the mud and I know he bleeds southern blood
In New Orleans she talked to me
I've thought about him every day
And it don't matter what they say

[Chorus]
He was a full five stars, I could have made a masterpiece
I couldn't quite start, I feel him running after me, I walk
Put two steps on the path
Oh, we thought he'd be home by now, but he's not coming back (Yeah)

[Bridge]
When you get to wherever you're going call me
I'll be waiting at the end of the line, oh
And if you wanna see me one more time, call me
I'll be with you 'til the end of the line, oh
And if you could be that one who survives
You'll find the stars up above shining like stadium lights
I'll be right there with you, soon as you say "Hike"
Every second was everything to me
I had to tell you, you're a full five stars

[Chorus]
He was a full five stars, I could have made a masterpiece
I couldn't quite start, I feel him running after me, I walk
Put two steps on the path
Oh, we thought he'd be home by now, but he's not coming back
(He's not coming back) (He's not coming back)
(He's not coming back) (He's not coming back)
(He's not coming back) (He's not coming back)
(He's not coming back) (He's not coming back)
