Lyrics

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.
