Nineteen Lyrics


Nineteen, the number on his back
Voted captain of the high school football team
Took us all the way to state
Got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee
He could catch, he could throw, he could run
He could go like you've never seen
Nineteen but on the day those twin towers came down
His whole world turned around
He told 'em all I can't play ball
There's a war on now
He marched right in with a few good men
And joined the marines at nineteen
He's the boy next door
He might have carried your bags at the grocery store
He's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Tryin' to hold on to his American dream at nineteen
There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere and a solider's down
We need someone who can duck and run and get him out some how

Want one good man, raise his hand and take one for the team
Well, how 'bout you nineteen?
He's the boy next door
He might've carried your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Tryin' to hold on to his American dream, nineteen, nineteen
They brought him home today with a big parade
Down on main street
He got a purple heart and a silver star
A solider gave a speech
Said he could catch, he could throw
He could run, he's the one that rescued me
Could have played for Tennessee
He was nineteen, he was only nineteen

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Carbonas (formed in 2001) hailed from Atlanta, GA, home to some of the most exciting bands like The Lids (now defunct), Black Lips, The Frantic and Beat Beat Beat, The Carbonas turned Atlanta into a neat place. Or something like that. Ya shoulda been there, man! You know what I mean. They released some good shit you should listen to.
Members now make up G.G. King, Gentleman Jesse, The Busy Signals, and probably some other bands. Listen to them, too.
