VERSE 1
I met him in the ICU
An LRMC afternoon
A dustoff in the sandbox
Just passing through
A 4 star in his room appeared
With a purple heart & single tear
Pointing to his bare chest
He said “pin that here”
Pretty Freakin Awesome...
VERSE 2
We will PCS in May
All ate up and squared away
ETS in 2 years
But I’ll reup that day
I’ve heard the worst I’ve felt the best
I haven’t always passed the test
I haven’t seen it all yet
so I’ll sleep when dead
BRIDGE
It’s Wyatt Erp, and Captain Kirk
And Martin Luther King
Elvis and the man in black
The Duke & Willy Pete
Driving on the Autobahn
Walking Roman Roads
Skiing in the South of France
Finally coming home
The Vegas lights, the New York nights
The Grand Canyon view
5The mountains of Alaska
The red, white and blue
Night flights with the NVGs
HALO’s PFA
Your lovers arms after being gone
Almost a year down range
Serving with the USO
The boys of EOD
Prepping for an ERO
In a blazing Hot LZ
The first one in the last one out
The Forth of July
And all the one’s who do not run
But stand and do what’s right
When you can’t find words to say
When it takes your breath away
VERSE 3
The day my little girl arrived
I understood why I’m alive
Then and there I found it all
in those big blue eyes
