At nineteen

There's a sniper out there in the 
dark
somewhere and a soldier is down
Need someone who can duck and run 
and get him out somehow
What one good man will raise his 
hand
and take one for the team
How bout you nineteen?

He's a boy next door
He might of carried your bags at the
 grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole
with a gun in a foreign land
Trying to hold on to his American 
dream

Nineteen Nineteen

Brought him home today with a big
parade down on main street
Gotta Purple Heart and a Silver Star
 solder gave a speech
Said he could catch he could throw 
he could
run he's the one that rescued me

...could have played for Tennessee
He was nineteen
He was only nineteen
