Now, he didn't ask to go

But Ol' Sammy called his number

Headed for Fort Benning, Georgia

Basic training in the summer

He said "I was young and tough

But that ol' drill sergeant was tougher"

Yellin, y'all gonna learn how to suffer

I'm gonna make a man of all you chumps

They shaved his head and gave him a number

Way before my time

When he sees Ol' Glory raised

He still cries like it's 1965

[Verse 2]
B
Now he didn't ask to go
F#
But them Hueys dropped him off, and
That's when the enemy got real

Body bags headed for coffins

He didn't know how much being an American would cost him
He said "we were young and we were rough

And they sure knew how to suffer
We were all married to our guns

The fear of death, and a number
