Soldiers & Jesus

歌詞

Grand-daddy came home in a B-52 In a pine box covered in red, white and blue He was one of the brave and the proud and the few Twenty-one guns helped us say goodbye I stood there in silence tryin' hard not to cry As the preacher, he quoted, lines written in red And then he folded his bible and in a broken voice, he said There's only two people who's every died for me Laid down their lives just so I could be free They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells And both got back up again after they fell They never picked the fight, but they're there To pick up the pieces God only knows who we'd be without soldiers and Jesus It seems like the news loves to run 'em both down But whenever we need 'em, they're always around So don't hand me a party's political views 'Cause they're a left side, a right side, and then there's the truth There's only two people who's every died for me Laid down their lives just so I could be free They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells And both got back up again after they fell They never picked the fight, but they're there To pick up the pieces God only knows who we'd be without soldiers and Jesus To me, they're both heroes for the path that they chose 'Cause one fights for my life, one fights for my soul There's only two people who's every died for me Laid down their lives just so I could be free They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells And both got back up again after they fell They never picked the fight, but they're there To pick up the pieces God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus Soldiers and Jesus
