I'd Do Anything (Soldier's Lament) Lyrics
You tell me what you want girl,
You tell me what you need
You know you just say the word
I'll be right there, yes I'll be right there at your feet
Because you know you rock girl
And i love how we roll
But i left you all alone, all we got is the phone
And its never going to be enough
Living in this dug-out
A million miles away
Man, id wish they'd pad these walls
like an institution man I'm going crazy
Because when I'm far away from you girl
I lose myself
You know my train jumps off the tracks
and all my pots fall off the shelf
Oh, I'd do anything just to be with you
Oh, I'd do anything just to be with you girl, be with you
It's a little girls birthday
And yeah, we are apart
Aint gonna make a big deal out of it
whatever It's no hard
You tell her papa loves her yeah
And It won't be too long
'Til we're all together
and yes we're singing those songs
I escape into my T.V
I know you understand
Man, they call that shit reality
I'd like to see those fools in Afghanistan
Livin' In this cold damn world
Hell bent one self-destruction
What I need right now is a little bit of love
a little bit of love an affection
Oh, I'd do anything just to be with you, girl!
You tell me what you want girl,
You tell me what you need
You know you just say the word
I'll be right there, yes I'll be right there at your feet
You tell me what you need
You know you just say the word
I'll be right there, yes I'll be right there at your feet
And i love how we roll
But i left you all alone, all we got is the phone
And its never going to be enough
A million miles away
Man, id wish they'd pad these walls
like an institution man I'm going crazy
I lose myself
You know my train jumps off the tracks
and all my pots fall off the shelf
Oh, I'd do anything just to be with you girl, be with you
And yeah, we are apart
Aint gonna make a big deal out of it
whatever It's no hard
And It won't be too long
'Til we're all together
and yes we're singing those songs
I know you understand
Man, they call that shit reality
I'd like to see those fools in Afghanistan
Hell bent one self-destruction
What I need right now is a little bit of love
a little bit of love an affection
You tell me what you need
You know you just say the word
I'll be right there, yes I'll be right there at your feet

I believe the lyrics in the 4th verse are "man, I wish they'd pad these walls like an institution" not paint these walls.
Anyway this song is pretty obvious... just to be with you
He's definitely talking about the pressure being on the road puts on his life too. He just wants to be with his wife and kid
Its Because He's Always At Gigs And Tours And He Hates Leaving Them Because He Loves Them, Hes Talking About Missing His Two Kids Grow Up And He Misses His Wife (Daniella) Because He Feels Like Hes Never There. And Hes Tyring His Hardest To Be There With Them. Hes My Uncle, I Heard It From Him Himself So Don't Tell Me I'm Wrong

I think this song is about being depolyed in the army, its from that point of view.
"Man, they call that shit reality I'd like to see those fools in Afghanistan"
"Living in this dug-out A million miles away Man, id wish they'd pad these walls like an institution man I'm going crazy"
he doesn't want to be away from his girl and his family but he has to, its his job.
He's Not In The Army, Hes A Committed Family Man And He Hates Having To Miss Out On His Kids Growing Up And Missing Daniella. And He Feels Like Hes Never There
He's Not In The Army, Hes A Committed Family Man And He Hates Having To Miss Out On His Kids Growing Up And Missing Daniella. And He Feels Like Hes Never There
This song is actually called "I'd Do Anything (Soldier's Lament)", which also backs up the army thing.
