Every single night
A soldier loses his life
Fighting for what is right
For the stars and stripes
His mother sheds a tear
His daddy can't believe what he hears
He's in disbelief
His son is 6 feet deep
So thanks to all the troops
Old and new
You are all American heroes
For doing what you do
He was only 22
When he went to fight
He did it all for you
And he lost his life
His girlfriend was pregnant and due
With their first born kid
Now she has to grow up
Not knowing who her daddy is
So thanks to all the troops
Old and new
You are all American heroes
For doing what you do
