Boots On the Ground Lyrics by Dos Gringos

El Cuatro

0

In the quiet of the nighttime
I circled in the air
I can't see the chaos
Of the battlefield down there
Voices on the radio
Call up to the sky
And a confidence to mask the fear
That some of them may die
But the bingo light is taking me away
And I wish there was something, something I could say
To the one's stormin' to the hornet's nest
Targets painted on their chest
Never know what danger lies around
In the lonely hell of an unknown land
Courage most won't understand
Here's to the ones putting boots on the ground
I checked in, full combat load
Lookin' down below
I could hear the bullets flyin'
When he keyed that radio
They called for air, and I did my best
Like anyone would do
They fought on to mornin'
Just tryin' to break through
And they'll keep on pushin' north again today
With the dust and blood and battle smoke
Won't ever go away
To the one's stormin' to the hornet's nest
Targets painted on their chest
Never know what danger lies around
In the lonely hell of an unknown land
Courage most won't understand
Here's to the ones putting boots on the ground
Yeah
To the one's stormin' to the hornet's nest
Targets painted on their chest
Never know what danger lies around
In the lonely hell of an unknown land
A courage most won't understand
Here's to the ones putting boots on the ground
On the ground
On the ground
