Got a bullet in my side and it hurts so bad.

You know I can't die, 'cause my girl would be sad.

Twenty more days and Jody be takin' my place.

 

Come on N.C.O. gotta get on the ball.

Tell the R.T.O. to put in a call.

The medics here have done their best.

Now it's time for the Dustoff to do the rest.

 

The sun/s goin' down and it's hard to see.

But the bullets keep on flyin' all round me.

I see a red light way up high.

It's gotta be the Dustoff in the sky.

 

I feel real bad leavin' friends behind.

But they say they're gunna get me home on tme.

They're gunna fight all through the night.

And when the mornin' comes I'll be out of sight.

 

Here I am home sittin' in my chair.

Got the TV on and guess what's on the air.

There they are, they're at it again.

They say they're gunna stay and fight till the end.

 

The finest soldiers in all the land.

For you my friends I proudly stand.
