COUNTRY IN HIS HEART

COUNTRY IN HIS HEART

He was just a boy of eighteen
and that’s not so many years
who wanted to be a soldier
help ease another countries fears
So he sold his car, kissed his girl
said they’d see him when he returned,
that could not be such a long time
when once freedom they had earned.

He enlisted in the Army
and wore the Army green
with pride of Country in his heart
that few have ever seen.

Time passed, the boy became a man
his birthday came, he turned nineteen
the life he’d lived in that one year
within his mind had left a scene
The time had come for his return
to the folks and girl he loved
The chopper crashed, no one knew why
then Angels reached from up above.

He enlisted in the Army
and wore the Army green
with pride of Country in his heart
that few have ever seen.

He went to fight for liberty
in the land that’s called Iraq
Even though his tour was over
He will never be coming back.

(Fade)
He enlisted in the Army
and wore the Army green
with pride of Country in his heart
that few have ever seen.
