Lyrics
My friends and I stopped by to see a recruiter just today
We had a burning question and had to hear what he would
We may look old and tired but we all grew up hardcore
And we want to know if there,s a way that you can get us in this war
He said I thank you for your service to our country years ago
If it wasn't for your age I know alot of you would go
A little smile came on my face I said now don't think I'm a jerk
but I can guarantee you that our trigger fingures works
chorus:
sign us up, put us down. let us sign the dotted line
but you have to do it quick cause some of us don't have much time
we don't need a giant send-off or a great big welcome home
sign us up, put us down and we'll get our heros home
You can clearly see that my hair is getting pretty thin
but I know you havesome helmets we can slip these bald heads in
Just suit us up and drop us down real easy on the ground
give us a map, a loaded gun and we'll find our way around
Bridge
We'll love not eating out of cans now that you have MRES
We'll be great at standing watch because we never sleep
And God forbid that we get hurt you don't even have to pay
We carry all the forms we need to just bill medicaid
Chorus
We Don't think bout pretty woman for us it's to much work
Our futures 0nly hold for us a long nap in dirt
One more thing I have to say before my speech is done
You'll never see us in retreat, we're to damn old to run
chorus
end
