Waycross - Nineteen lyrics

rate me

Nineteen <br />

The number on his back, Voted captain of his high school football team <br />

Took us all the way to state, got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee <br />

He could run, he could duck, he could throw, he could go like you?ve never seen, Nineteen <br />

<br />

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

He told em all, ya'll I can?t play ball there?s a war on now <br />

So he marched right in with a few good men, and joined the marines <br />

At Nineteen <br />

<br />

Well he?s the boy next door, might have carried your bags at the grocery store <br />

He?s somebody?s son, in a hole with a gun, in a foreign land <br />

Try? in to hold on to his American dream <br />

Nineteen <br />

<br />

There?s a sniper out there in the dark somewhere, and a solider down <br />

Ya we need someone who can duck and run to get him out some how <br />

Want one good man to raise his hand, and take one for the team <br />

Well how bout you Nineteen <br />

<br />

Well he?s the boy next door, he used to carry your bags at the grocery store <br />

He?s somebody?s son, in a hole with a gun, in a foreign land <br />

Try? in to hold on to his American dream <br />

Nineteen <br />

<br />

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

Got a purple heart and a silver star, solider gave a speech <br />

Said he could run, he could duck, he could throw, he?s the one who rescued me <br />

He said he could have played for Tennessee <br />

Number Nineteen <br />

He was Nineteen
