Soldiers & Jesus

Well granddaddy came home in a B-52
 In a pine box covered in red, white, and blue
 He was one of the brave and the proud and the few
 21 guns helped us say goodbye
 I stood there in silence trying hard not to cry
 As the preacher he quoted lines written in red
 And he folded his bible in a broken voice he said
 There's only two people whose ever died for me
 Laid down their lives just so I could be free
 They both went through hell bared crosses and shells
 And both got back up again after they fell
 They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces
 God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
 It seems like the news loves to run em both down
 Whenever we need em there always around
 So don't hand me a parties political views
 There's left side and right side and then there's the truth
 There's only two people whose ever died for me
 Laid down their lives just so I could be free
 They both went through hell bared crosses and shells
 And both got back up again after they fell
 They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces
 God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
 To me there both heroes for the path that they chose
 One fights for my life one fights for my soul
 There's only two people whose ever died for me
 Laid down their lives just so I could be free
 They both went through hell bared crosses and shells
 And both got back up again after they fell
 They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces
 God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
