8th of November - Boogie Boots[00:00:00]
Said goodbye to his mamma[00:00:16]
As he left South Dakota[00:00:18]
To fight for the Red White and Blue [00:00:21]
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16[00:00:25]
Just doing what he had to do [00:00:29]
He was dropped in the jungle[00:00:33]
Where the choppers would rumble[00:00:35]
With the smell of napalm in the air [00:00:37]
And the sergeant said "Look up ahead"[00:00:42]
Like a dark evil cloud[00:00:50]
1 200 came down[00:00:52]
On him and 29 more [00:00:54]
They fought for their lives[00:00:59]
But most of them died[00:01:00]
In the 173rd Airborne [00:01:03]
(Chorus)[00:01:06]
On the 8th of November [00:01:07]
The angels were crying[00:01:09]
As they carried his brothers away [00:01:11]
With the fire raining down[00:01:15]
And the Hell all around[00:01:17]
There were few men left standing that day [00:01:19]
Saw the eagle fly [00:01:23]
Through a clear blue sky[00:01:26]
1965 the 8th of November [00:01:28]
Now he's fifty-eight[00:01:41]
And his ponytail's grey[00:01:43]
But the battle still plays in his head [00:01:45]
He limps when he walks [00:01:49]
But he's strong when he talks[00:01:51]
About the shrapnel they left in his leg [00:01:53]
He puts on a grey suit[00:01:57]
Over his Airborne tattoo[00:01:59]
And He ties it on one time a year[00:02:02]
And remembers the fallen [00:02:06]
As he orders a tall one[00:02:08]
And swallows it down with his tears [00:02:10]
(Chorus)[00:02:14]
On the 8th of November [00:02:15]
The angels were crying[00:02:16]
As they carried his brothers away [00:02:18]
With the fire raining down[00:02:22]
And the Hell all around[00:02:24]
There were few men left standing that day [00:02:27]
Saw the eagle fly [00:02:31]
Through a clear blue sky[00:02:33]
1965 the 8th of November [00:02:35]
Saw the eagle fly [00:02:56]
Through a clear blue sky[00:02:59]
1965 [00:03:01]
(Chorus)[00:03:07]
On the 8th of November [00:03:08]
The angels were crying[00:03:09]
As they carried his brothers away [00:03:11]
With the fire raining down[00:03:15]
And the Hell all around[00:03:17]
There were few men left standing that day [00:03:19]
(Chorus)[00:03:23]
On the 8th of November [00:03:23]
The angels were crying[00:03:26]
As they carried his brothers away [00:03:28]
With the fire raining down[00:03:32]
And the Hell all around [00:03:34]
There were few men left standing that day [00:03:36]
Saw the eagle fly [00:03:40]
Through a clear blue sky[00:03:43]
1965 the 8th of November [00:03:45]
The 8th of November[00:03:59]
The 8th of November[00:04:02]
He said goodbye to his mamma[00:04:08]
As he left South Dakota[00:04:10]
To fight for the Red White and Blue [00:04:12]
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16[00:04:16]
Just doing what he had to do[00:04:21]
