You wake up,
Watch the world go 'round,
You shiver,
Feeling upside down.
Your heart is beating fast,
Pumping blood to your head,
Another day to fight,
You have a prayer on your lips under the desert sun
And a loaded gun…
You remember every word
That your father said,
Stay out of trouble son
And be true to yourself.
You'll be working like a dog,
Raise a family,
And life will be alright,
But now, it's written in the stars, if you'll make it out alive,
Out alive.
The good die young,
There might be no tomorrow,
In God we trust
Through all this pain and sorrow.
The good die young,
The flame will burn forever,
And no one knows your name.
Bring the boys back home again,
Home Again...
It was a quiet day
On the streets of hope,
When the bomb went off
At the side of the road.
Sounds of breaking steel,
An windshield full of blood…
No enemy in sight,
It feels like in a movie scenes are passing by,
It's your life.
