Grand daddy came home in a B52
In a pine box covered in red white and blue
He was one of brave and the poud and the few
Twenty one guns helped us say good bye
I stood there in silence tryin hard not to cry
As the preacher requoted lines written in red
Then he folded his bible, in a broken voice he said
" There's only two people, who's ever died for me, lay down their lives just so i could be free. They both went threw hell, bear crosses and shells, both got back up again after they fell. Never picked the fight but they'll pick up the peices.
God only knows who we'd be with out soldiers and jesus.
Seems like news loves to run em both down.
whenever we need em they're always around,
so don't hand me a pardance, political views.
Cause there's a left side a right side and then theres the truth
there's only two people who's ever died for me, lay down their lives just so i could be free. they both went threw hell, bear crosses and shells, both got back again after they fell. they never picked the fight but they'll live to pick up the pieces.
God only knows who we'd be with out soldiers and jesus
To me their both heros for the path that they chose
cause one fights for my life,
one fights for my soul.
There's only two people who's ever died for me,
lay down their lives just so i could free.
they bother went threw hell, bear crosses and shells,
both got back again after they fell
they never picked the fight but they'll live to pick up the pieces.
God only knows where we'd be with out soldiers and jesus
Soldiers and Jesus
