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 Oh, oh Oh, woah Oh, oh, yeah 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.
