My daddy was a soldier in a foreign war
But he doesnt like to talk about it any more
He kept a picture of my mama right by his heart
Hed give it one last look before the fighting would start
He said all I ask is that you dont forget
Cause the wars not over when the fighting ends
Theres a part of me that will always be
Just a boy in a hole with an M16
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
Id die lying there next to him
I still see his face when I close my eyes
And I wont forget his sacrifice
Theres a part of me that will always be
Just a boy in a hole with an M16
Airborne Ranger Infantry
I didnt do it for the money
Didnt do it for fame
I didnt 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 dont forget
Cause the wars not over when the fighting ends
Theres a part of us that will always be
Just boys in a hole with our M16s
Haunted souls and memories
Airborne Ranger Infantry
