He was eight years old when his daddy took him out for the first time.
     G                 D                           Cadd9
They sat beneath that big oak tree and watched the sunrise.

       Am                                        D

Ready and a waitin' with a gun in his hand.
 G               D                  Cadd9                D
Memories they'd cherish forever, the two of them spendin' time together.

Said when you graduate son, what you wanna' do?
  G                        D                  Cadd9
He ran straight home and said dad I wanna' be all that I can be.
Am                                          D
Eight months later he said goodbye and they shipped him overseas.

In his camouflage, lookin' like a man.  Fightin' for his life and Uncle Sam

Ready and a waitin with a gun in his hand.

Seein' things he'll never forget,

He called his dad just yesterday, with a tear in his eye.
   F#m                               E              Cadd9     D
He said if I don't make it home, don't bury me in no suit and tie.

So everybody knows just who I am, who I was and where I've been.

It's in our roots, it's what we love.  This camouflage, it's in our blood.
