Lyrics

Nineteen, 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 at Tennessee
He could run, he could duck, he could throw, he could go
Like you've never seen, nineteen
But on the day those twin towers came down
His whole world turned around
He told em all, y'all I can't play ball
There's a war on now
So, he walked right down with a few good men
And joined the Marines, nineteen
He's the boy next door
He used to carry your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole in the ground
In a foreign land trying to hold on to his American dream
Nineteen
There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere
And a soldier down
We need someone who can run who can duck
Go get him out
Ain't there one good man who'll raise his hand
And take one for the team
How bout you nineteen
He's the boy next door
He used to carry your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole in the ground
In a foreign land trying to hold on to his American dream
Nineteen
They brought him home today with a big parade
Down on main street
Gave him a purple heart, a silver star, soldier gave a speech
Said he could run, he could duck, he could throw
He's the one who rescued me
Said he coulda played for Tennessee
Number nineteen
He was nineteen
