Taylor Hicks - Nineteen lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Nineteen <br>

The number on his back wore the captain of the high school football team <br>

<br>

Took us all the way to state <br>

Got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee <br>

<br>

He could catch he could throw he could run he could go like you've never seen <br>

<br>

Nineteen <br>

But on the day those twin towers came down his whole world turned around <br>

He told them all I can't play ball there's a war on now <br>

He marched right in with a few good men and joined the marines <br>

<br>

At nineteen <br>

<br>

<i>[chorus]</i><br>

He's a boy next door <br>

He might of carried your bags at the grocery store <br>

Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land <br>

Trying to hold on to his American dream <br>

<br>

At nineteen <br>

<br>

There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere and a soldier is down <br>

Need someone who can duck and run and get him out somehow <br>

What one good man will raise his hand and take one for the team <br>

How bout you nineteen? <br>

<br>

<i>[chorus]</i><br>

He's a boy next door <br>

He might of carried your bags at the grocery store <br>

Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land <br>

Trying to hold on to his American dream <br>

<br>

Nineteen <br>

Nineteen <br>

<br>

Brought him home today with a big parade down on main street <br>

Gotta Purple Heart and a Silver Star solder gave a speech <br>

Said he could catch he could throw he could run he's the one that rescued me <br>

<br>

...could have played for Tennessee <br>

He was nineteen <br>

He was only nineteen<br>

<BR><BR>
