《8th of November》歌词

[00:00:00] 8th of November - Boogie Boots

[00:00:16] Said goodbye to his mamma

[00:00:18] As he left South Dakota

[00:00:21] 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 doing what he had to do

[00:00:33] He was dropped in the jungle

[00:00:35] Where the choppers would rumble

[00:00:37] With the smell of napalm in the air

[00:00:42] And the sergeant said "Look up ahead"

[00:00:50] Like a dark evil cloud

[00:00:52] 1 200 came down

[00:00:54] On him and 29 more

[00:00:59] They fought for their lives

[00:01:00] But most of them died

[00:01:03] In the 173rd Airborne

[00:01:06] (Chorus)

[00:01:07] On the 8th of November

[00:01:09] The angels were crying

[00:01:11] As they carried his brothers away

[00:01:15] With the fire raining down

[00:01:17] And the Hell all around

[00:01:19] There were few men left standing that day

[00:01:23] Saw the eagle fly

[00:01:26] Through a clear blue sky

[00:01:28] 1965 the 8th of November

[00:01:41] Now he's fifty-eight

[00:01:43] And his ponytail's grey

[00:01:45] But the battle still plays in his head

[00:01:49] He limps when he walks

[00:01:51] But he's strong when he talks

[00:01:53] About the shrapnel they left in his leg

[00:01:57] He puts on a grey suit

[00:01:59] Over his Airborne tattoo

[00:02:02] And He ties it on one time a year

[00:02:06] And remembers the fallen

[00:02:08] As he orders a tall one

[00:02:10] And swallows it down with his tears

[00:02:14] (Chorus)

[00:02:15] On the 8th of November

[00:02:16] The angels were crying

[00:02:18] As they carried his brothers away

[00:02:22] With the fire raining down

[00:02:24] And the Hell all around

[00:02:27] There were few men left standing that day

[00:02:31] Saw the eagle fly

[00:02:33] Through a clear blue sky

[00:02:35] 1965 the 8th of November

[00:02:56] Saw the eagle fly

[00:02:59] Through a clear blue sky

[00:03:01] 1965

[00:03:07] (Chorus)

[00:03:08] On the 8th of November

[00:03:09] The angels were crying

[00:03:11] As they carried his brothers away

[00:03:15] With the fire raining down

[00:03:17] And the Hell all around

[00:03:19] There were few men left standing that day

[00:03:23] (Chorus)

[00:03:23] On the 8th of November

[00:03:26] The angels were crying

[00:03:28] As they carried his brothers away

[00:03:32] With the fire raining down

[00:03:34] And the Hell all around

[00:03:36] There were few men left standing that day

[00:03:40] Saw the eagle fly

[00:03:43] Through a clear blue sky

[00:03:45] 1965 the 8th of November

[00:03:59] The 8th of November

[00:04:02] The 8th of November

[00:04:08] He said goodbye to his mamma

[00:04:10] As he left South Dakota

[00:04:12] To fight for the Red White and Blue

[00:04:16] He was nineteen and green with a new M-16

[00:04:21] Just doing what he had to do
