Trace Adkins - Semper Fi lyrics

rate me

He sat in that long line of Barber chairs

And the Sergeant asked him, Son, would you like to keep your hair?

He said yes sir, as he heard those clippers buzzing on

Sergeant said, well, hold out your hand, here it comes...

Semper Fi, Do or Die

So Gung-ho to go and pay the price

Here's to Leathernecks, Devil Dogs, and Jarheads

And Parris Island in July, Semper Fi

I sleep in my bed instead of a Fox Hole

I've never heard my boss tell me to lock and load

Ain't no bullet holes in the side of my SUV

Because the kid next door just shipped out over seas

Semper Fi, Do or Die

So Gung-ho to go and pay the price

Here's to Leathernecks, Devil Dogs, and Jarheads

And Parris Island in July, Semper Fi

For the few that wear the Dress Blues

With haircut High and Tight

Who are Proud to be the first ones in a fight

Semper Fi

Semper Fi, Do or Die

So Gung-ho to go and pay the price

Here's to Leathernecks, Devil Dogs, and Jarheads

And Parris Island in July,

Never leave a man behind...

A Marine, A Marine for Life

Semper Fi
