Bottom of my boots, sure are gettin worn,
An there's a lot a holes, in this faded uniform,
My hands are black with dirt__ and so is my face,
I aint ever been to hell, but it couldn't be any worse than this place,
Tell my wife don't worry cause I know what to do,
It makes her feel better sometimes but I don't know if it's true,
I know if I die, it's just my time to go,
But I pray to God everyday that I make it back home,
(Chorus)
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad,
You quit worryin bout what you aint got an thank God for what you have,
Cause I could be raisin' my family in this place,
But I was born an american___, by God's amazing grace,
(Verse 2) *
For the last twelve months, I've had a new address.
If you wanna talk about it you better keep it short,
Cause I got a lot a lost time, I gotta make up for,
I really don't care why Bush went in-to Iraq,
I know what I done there an' I'm damn sure proud a that,
If you got somethin' bad to say about the U.S.A.,
You better save it for different ears unless you wanna crawl to pay
An' I'll laugh in your face when you say you've got it bad,
Until you spent some time on the streets of Bahgdad,
(Chorus)
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad,
You quit worryin bout what you aint got an thank God for what you've had,
Cause you could be raisin' your family in this place,
* same as first verse
