I don't know why I left (I don't know why I left)
|
But I know it won't be long (But I know it won't be long)
|
No it won't be long (No it won't be long)
|
Till I get back home
|
|
They gave me a green uniform and black boots for my feel
|
Eighteen and wild as hell, I thought it would be neat
|
They put me on a plane to some strange and foreign land
|
I said my good-bye to mom and dad and hello to Uncle Sam
|
|
Once I was a soldier and not afraid to die
|
Now I'm a little older and not afraid to cry
|
Everyday I'm thankful just to be alive
|
When you've been where I've been any kind of life
|
Is paradise
|
|
Christmas of eighty-nine was a lonely time for me
|
Panama was probably fine but it was nothing like Tennessee
|
I never thought the day would come when I might have to kill a man
|
I did not sleep a wink that night but we won for Uncle Sam
|
|
Once I was a soldier and not afraid to die
|
Now I'm a little older and not afraid to cry
|
Everyday I'm thankful just to be alive
|
When you've been where I've been any kind of life
|
Is paradise
|
|
If you've been where I've been any kind of life
|
Is paradise
|
|
It's paradise
|
Paradise
