8th Of November - Big & Rich[00:00:00]
Said goodbye to his momma[00:00:20]
As he left South Dakota[00:00:23]
To fight for the Red White and Blue[00:00:25]
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16[00:00:29]
Just doin' what he had to do[00:00:33]
He was dropped in the jungle[00:00:37]
Where the choppers would rumble[00:00:40]
With the smell of napalm in the air[00:00:42]
Then the sergeant said "Look up ahead"[00:00:46]
Like a dark evil cloud 1200 came down[00:00:55]
On him and 29 more[00:00:59]
They fought for their lives[00:01:03]
But most of them died[00:01:05]
In the 173rd Airborne[00:01:07]
On the 8th of November [00:01:11]
The angels were cryin'[00:01:14]
As they carried his brothers away[00:01:15]
With the fire rainin' down[00:01:20]
And the hell all around[00:01:22]
There were few men left standin' that day[00:01:24]
Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky[00:01:28]
1965 the 8th of November[00:01:33]
Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray[00:01:45]
But the battle still plays in his head[00:01:50]
He limps when he walks[00:01:54]
But he's strong when he talks[00:01:56]
'Bout the shrapnel they left in his leg[00:01:58]
He puts on a gray suit[00:02:02]
Over his Airborne tattoo[00:02:04]
And he ties it on one time a year[00:02:07]
And remembers that fallen[00:02:11]
As he orders a tall one[00:02:13]
And swallows it down with his tears[00:02:15]
On the 8th of November [00:02:19]
The angels were cryin'[00:02:21]
As they carried his brothers away[00:02:23]
With the fire rainin' down[00:02:27]
And the hell all around[00:02:30]
There were few men left standin' that day[00:02:32]
Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky[00:02:36]
1965 the 8th of November[00:02:41]
8th of November[00:02:55]
(8th of November)[00:02:57]
Said goodbye to his Momma[00:03:03]
As he left South Dakota[00:03:06]
To fight for the Red White and Blue[00:03:08]
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16[00:03:12]
Just doin' what he had to do[00:03:16]
