Testi

On the 17th of May he turned 18
Like his older brother, drafted by the Army
Wild eyes and a dream to go off and see the world
They cut his hair, gave him a gun, and he said goodbye to his girl
 
He woke up in another world that he didn’t know a thing about
Sarge was in his face and he was getting awful loud
Strangers became brothers, that he never will forget
Guys that have your back, tend to earn your full respect
Chorus
We remember that old Greyhound that left town
Carried our sons off to war and made us proud
We remember every letter, and calls on the telephone
and we remember every soldier…
that didn’t come home
There were days that seemed like they were never going to end
Days that seemed like hell, and he’d never smile again
He turned 19 in the jungle and he hung his head to pray
Another year and he might make it back home in the states
A knock upon the door, is what every mother fears
She knew why they were there, and she cried a river of tears
She broke down and fell to the floor, it was hard to catch her breath
The next time she’s her boy she’ll be wearing a black dress
Chorus
We remember that old Greyhound that left town
Carried our sons off to war and made us proud
We remember every letter, and calls on the telephone
and we remember every soldier…
that didn’t come home
Outro
She broke down and fell to the floor, it was hard to catch her breath
The next time she’s her boy she’ll be wearing a black dress
