We Were Soldiers - Didn't I lyrics

rate me

Didn't I make you proud, go and lay my life down

When you called my name

I thought I stood for something

Was doing the right thing when I went away

Now being back should be so simple

But I keep getting these mixed signals from everyone

Why do folks sit and judge me

Who ain't seen what I've seen or did what I've done

Didn't I burn, didn't I bleed enough for you

I faced your fears, felt pain so you won't have to

Yeah didn't I do my best

And wasn't home here when I left

I've seen boys fall to pieces, grown men cry out for Jesus

'Til there black and blue

I thought God was on your side, weren't we suppose to be the good guys

That would never lose

'Cause I don't see no ticker tape or five mile parades

Sayin', 'Thank you son'

Just folks that sit and judge me

Who ain't seen what I've seen or did what I've done

Didn't I burn,didn't I bleed enough for you

I faced your fears felt the pain so you won't have to

Yeah didn't I do my best

And wasn't home here when I left
