LYRICS:

Sarge said 'son...
Take this machine gun
Shoot em if they stand or if they run'
Had to lock and load
Huey to the Red Zone
Wondering if I'd make it home
Scared to the bone
We hit the ground
They fired off some rounds
Made a cemetery out of that town
Then they sent us west
Put the unit to the test
Then they pinned a medal on my chest
Still no rest

Hadn't been stateside
But just a little while
When Uncle Sam
Rang my phone line
Said 'You're shipping out
At o-six-hundred on the first
So you better get yourself some family time
My wife cried

This time around
We got pinned down
Had to leave eight brothers in the ground
But I got clear
Home by New Years
The wife and son couldn't hold back the tears
Daddy's really here

Hadn't been stateside
But just a little while
When Uncle Sam
Rang my phone line
Said 'You're shipping out
At o-six-hundred on the first
So you better get yourself some family time
Out of my mind

Ten years gone
Just another pawn
In some chess match at the Pentagon
But I stayed the course
Wife filed for divorce
Uncle Sam ain't got no remorse
Now it's time to go
Sending me down the road
To a place that I don't know..
Sending me home
