------------------------------------------
VS 1 OLD GLORY MADE ME A SOLDIER
I LOVE MY STARS AND STRIPES
AND I BELIEVE IN FREEDOM
THAT'S WHY I SIGNED UP TO FIGHT
BUT WAR IS HELL AND THE BULLETS KEEP FLYIN'
THERE'S FIRE IN THE SKY AND MY BUDDIES KEEP DYIN'
VS 2 I MISS MY MOMMA'S COOKIN' AND FISHIN' WITH MY DAD
I MISS THE SWEETEST LOVIN', GIRL, THAT I EVER HAD
I MISS OUR LITTLE PLACE IN THE COUNTRY
AND ALL MY NO GOOD FRENS
BUT I'M TAKIN' THIS TOUR OF DUTY TO THE END
CHORUS THEN I'LL FLY THRU THE SKY OVER THE OCEAN
I'M GONNA HOLD YOU FOREVER
WHEN I SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE
I'M COMIN' BACK HOME TO YOU
WHEN MY TIME IN HELL IS THRU
I'M GONNA BE IN HEAVEN WHEN I'M HOME WITH YOU
VS 3
NOW BABY IF THINGS DON'T WORK OUT
QUITE LIKE I HOPE THEY DO
AND I DON'T GET TO COME BACK HOME
AND SPEND MY LIFE WITH YOU
REMEMBER I VOLUNTEERED TO FIGHT THIS WAR
AND FREEDOM'S WORTH DYIN' FOR
OLD GLORY FOREVERMORE!
REPEAT-
DEATH OR HELL CAN'T KEEP US APART, YOU AND I BABY,
CHORUS+ WE GOT THE SAME HEART, TOGETHER FOREVER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
