Lyrics: 
They commandeer a corner table
At our smalltown diner
Just five or six old men
Throwing out corny old one liners..
They pat the heads of children, give friendly nods to strangers..
They sure seem quick to laugh, makes you think they're slow to anger

Those guys were frontline brothers,
Their lives depended on each other
They were soldiers long before they were men..
Yeah the ones that somehow survived
Came home went on to build their lives
Never charging us a penny for the debt we owe to them..but
You can almost smell the gun smoke in the foxhole that they shared
On the days they raise their coffees, and toast the empty chair..

Aww..
They'll ask you where you're from
What you do and what you've done...but
Don't go thinkin' they're all talk, cause
You wouldn't wanna piss them off...

Those guys were frontline brothers,
Their lives depended on each other
They were soldiers long before they were men..
Yeah the ones that somehow survived
Came home went on to build their lives
Never charging us a penny for the debt we owe to them..but
You can almost smell the gun smoke in the foxhole that they shared
On the days they raise their coffees, and toast the empty chair
They'll tell you anything you wanna know..but
There's one place they just won't go...cause
They don't want to ruin our dreams
By telling us the things they've seen...

Those guys were frontline brothers,
Their lives depended on each other
They were soldiers long before they were men..
Yeah the ones that somehow survived
Came home went on to build their lives

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “country music’s most convincing young star since Stapleton,” Dillon Carmichael isn’t just an artist; he’s a force of nature. Born and raised in Burgin, Kentucky, the 6’4” troubadour first rose to fame in 2018 on the strength of his critically acclaimed Riser House debut, the Dave Cobb-produced Hell On An Angel, which prompted NPR to praise his “deep holler” and the New York Times to declare that his voice moves “with the heft and certainty of a tractor trailer.” Dates with everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Trace Adkins to Dwight Yoakam and Justin Moore followed, as did festival appearances from Faster Horses to Tortuga and Artist To Watch nods from the likes of Billboard, Rolling Stone, Pandora, and more.

Carmichael followed it up in 2021 with Son Of A, another neo-traditional gem that’s racked up more than 13 million streams across platforms (Carmichael’s catalog boasts more than 140 million streams collectively) and yielded similarly glowing reviews for its feel-good mix of wry humor and raw heart. After debuting as the #1 most added single at country radio, the album’s title track is already well on its way to a million plays on YouTube as it continues to climb the singles charts, and Carmichael remains busy as ever on the road, headlining his ‘Son Of A’ Tour and opening for the likes of Brooks & Dunn, Cody Johnson, Brothers Osborne and more.
