My daddy was a soldier in a foreign war But he doesn't like to talk about it any more |
|
He kept a picture of my mama right by his heart |
|
He'd give it one last look before the fighting would start |
|
He said all I ask is that you don't forget |
|
Cause the wars not over when the fighting ends |
|
There's a part of me that will always be Just a boy in a hole with an M-16 Airborne ranger infantry |
|
I left my best friend lying in a pool of blood |
|
While I crawled away through the brush and mud |
|
If I could choose to go back again I'd die lying there next to him |
|
I still see his face when I close my eyes |
|
As I won't forget his sacrifice |
|
There's a part of me that will always be Just a boy in a hole with an M-16 Airborne ranger infantry |

(Vocal) |
|
I didn't do it for the money |
|
didn't do it for fame |
|
I didn't do it so the world would remember my name |
|
I did it for my family and my country, And my brothers who died right next to me. |
|
And all we ask is that you don't forget Cause the wars not over when the fighting ends |
|
There's a part of us that will always be Just boys in a hole with our M-16s |
