still a soldier

he's got a corner lot on dogwood drive, a year old truck and a nine to five, comes home at night to a pretty wife, with a baby due, he'll sleep in on saturday, cut the grass if it don't rain, after church he'll watch the game, 'n' have a beer or two, he'll stand up, when he hears the anthem, and that won't ever change, he's still a soldier, he's blood runs red, white and blue, he put away his gun and boots, but he still believes, the american dream, 'til his last breath he'll always be, a soldier, he's still a soldier, he's on his couch for the news at ten, he'll see those places that he's been, and when a brother falls there's a part of him that does too, and if they called and needed him back, aw, he'd be on that plane, he's still a soldier, he's blood runs red, white and blue, he put away his gun and boots, but he still believes, the american dream, 'til his last breath he'll always be, a soldier, he don't wake up anymore, when he hears thunder, aw, but even if he lives, to be a hundred, he'll still be a soldier, he's still a soldier, he put away his gun and boots, but he still believes, the american dream, 'til his last breath he'll always be, a soldier, he's still a soldier, he's still a soldier
