Soldiers Song

I met my enemy today
Baby sends the little one out to play
Enemy shot until my bodys down
Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round
By my post,
Im standin guard
And baby hopes for roses in the front yard
I dont know my enemys name
Baby takes the little one to the baseball game
Im on this godforsaken place
Baby washes the dirt off the little ones face
Ten year olds in the killing fields
Babys planning her weekly meals
Bodies in body ditch
Babys got a supper to fix
My buddys got a hole in his head
Babys got the little one ready for bed
Today I shot my enemy
Baby gives the little one a hug for me
Both my buddies legs got blown off
Baby tends to the little ones cough
I stare down the barrel of a gun
Babys goin out to have some fun
I hear ringin in my ears
Babys face is all wet with tears
I hear echoes of shots
Babys only thinkin sweet thoughts
Why in the hell did they send me here to fight?
Baby kisses my picture and turns off the light
I cant look my enemy in the eye
Baby tells the little one, 'Daddys gone bye-bye'
Today I took a bullet through the heart
Babys gonna have to make a brand new start
I met my enemy today
Baby sends the little one out to play
Enemy shot til my bodys down
Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round
