The Home Front Lyrics
The hours creep across the face
As she paces across the floor
She can’t even get to sleep since Tony went to war
She feels bitchslapped and abandoned
By a world she thought she knew
Cold beyond comprehension as their little girl turns two
Now they’re saying on the flat screen
They ain’t found a 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 the bullshit on
She’s left standing on the home front
The two of them alone
As she paces across the floor
She can’t even get to sleep since Tony went to war
She feels bitchslapped and abandoned
By a world she thought she knew
Cold beyond comprehension as their little girl turns two
They ain’t found a 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 the bullshit on
She’s left standing on the home front
The two of them alone

Ain't much hidden meaning in this one...
Not much hidden, it is Patterson's way of telling what a woman told him on tour. At least I think it was on tour.
I really like this song. It has such a sweet melody and suitable lyrics. Makes me think of a sunny morning after no sleep, and this woman is sitting with tears in her eyes, watching her sleeping children.
that's pure emotional heft right there. wow.
