Tekst Utworu

Nineteen
The number on his back voted captain of his high school football team
Took us all the way to state, got a
Scholarship to play down in Tennessee
He could catch, he could throw, he could
Run, he could go like you never seen
Number nineteen
But on the day those twin towers came
Down his whole world turned around
He told 'em all "I can't play ball, there's a war on now"
So he marched right in with a few good men and joined the Marines
At nineteen
He's the boy next door
Might have carried your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Trying to hold on to his American dream
At nineteen
There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere and a soldier down
We need someone who can duck and run and get him out somehow
Won't one good man raise his hand, take one for the team
How 'bout you, nineteen?
He's the boy next door
Might have carried your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Trying to hold on to his American dream
At nineteen
They brought him home today with a big parade down Main Street
He got a Purple Heart, a Silver Star, soldier gave a speech
Said "He could catch, he could throw, he
Could run, he's the one that rescued me
Coulda played for Tennessee"
Nineteen
He was number nineteen
He was only nineteen
