Lyrics

My daddy was a soldier in a foreign war
 But he doesn't like to talk about it any more
 He kept a picture of my mama right by his heart
 He'd give it one last look before the fighting would start
 He said all I ask is that you don't forget
 Cause the war's not over when the fighting ends
 There's a part of me that will always be
 Just a boy in a hole with an M16
 Airborne Ranger Infantry
 I left my best friend lying in a pool of blood
 While I crawled away through the brush and mud
 If I could choose to go back again
 I'd die lying there next to him
 I still see his face when I close my eyes
 And I won't forget his sacrifice
 There's a part of me that will always be
 Just a boy in a hole with an M16
 Airborne Ranger Infantry
 I didn't do it for the money
 Didn't do it for fame
 I didn't do it so the world would remember my name
 I did it for my family and my country
 And my brothers who died right next to me
 And all we ask is that you don't forget
 Cause the war's not over when the fighting ends
 There's a part of us that will always be
 Just boys in a hole with our M16s
 Haunted souls and memories
 Airborne Ranger Infantry
