Well I quit school at the 10th grade and I grew out my hair
I got me a job doing lawn mover repair
I met an Army recruiter down at the Win Dixi
He said son you no future pack up and go with me.
The first place we landed was a base called Bullot
They convoyed are asses to a 10 acre FOB
With my boots and my cover and an old M-16
Two bottles of water and a cold MRE
Oh you meet lots of new friends and sure to get paid
We?ll show you the world and teach you a trade
Not a job it's an adventure, oh yes sir I got that,
but you never told me I get my ass shot at
The first night on combat we went on patrol
They ambushed our convoy and we chased the assholes
We found them all hiding in low water ditches
Took aim and we killed all of them son of a bitches
Oh you meet lots of new friends and sure to get paid
We?ll show you the world and teach you a trade
Not a job it's an adventure, oh yes sir I got that,
but you never told me I get my ass shot at
Walked in on my buddy with female MP,
Ugliest woman you're ever seen
He said why are you laughing you have lots of nerve
Over here in the desert we grade on a curve
Oh you meet lots of new friends and sure to get paid
We?ll show you the world and teach you a trade
Not a job it's an adventure, oh yes sir I got that,
but you never told me I get my ass shot at
No you never told him he?d get his ass shot at
