Long days in blue

Lyrics

Verse 1] Boots on the floor ‘fore the sun even wakes Coffee gone cold but I’m wide awake Got that weight on my chest, but I carry it proud Yeah, I learned how to stand in a restless crowd First base I hit, didn’t know my name Just a kid tryna figure out the game Now I’ve got stripes and a story to tell From the highs we chased to the nights that fell ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] We were young, we were reckless, we were all in Laughin’ loud through the silence we were callin’ ⸻ [Chorus] These long days in blue, they took their toll But they built this fire down in my soul Through the miles, through the wear, through the fight I found my brothers in the dead of night Yeah, we bled, yeah we broke, yeah we grew In those long days… in blue ⸻ [Verse 2] Missed a few birthdays, missed some calls Watched life move on through base housing walls But I gained a family I didn’t expect In the middle of chaos, I found respect Awards on a shelf don’t tell it all They don’t show the nights you felt too small Or the weight of the mission, the endless grind Or the war in your chest you keep inside ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] But we stood, we held steady, never folded Every scar is a story we’ve been holdin’ ⸻ [Chorus] These long days in blue, they took their toll But they built this fire down in my soul Through the miles, through the wear, through the fight I found my brothers in the dead of night Yeah, we bled, yeah we broke, yeah we grew In those long days… in blue ⸻ [Bridge – stripped down, emotional] And I’d do it again, yeah I swear I would Even the days when it hurt so bad it didn’t feel good ‘Cause it made me who I am right now Through the silence, through the doubt Yeah, I found my way somehow ⸻ [Final Chorus – bigger, raw] These long days in blue, they shaped my name Through the pride and the pressure and the pain And I wouldn’t trade the life I knew For a second of something easy or new Yeah, we stood, yeah we fought, yeah it’s true I was forged in those long days… ⸻ [Outro – soft, fading] Still hear echoes when the night comes through Of those long days… in blue
