Letras
The river gleams at night
Stars shiver and sigh
A tracer rips the ceiling out of the sky
Johnny is hurt
His blood's soaking the dirt
Hey medic man, don't let my only friend die
Cause we've been through good and bad
From Ramleam to Baghdad
Johnny had my back like it was his own
In the heat and the dust
The sweat and the rust
Nothin' was ever gonna stop the both of us going home
So hoist up the stars and stripes
Gonna break out tonight
Johnny hold on man, whatever you do, don't let go
Hey President Bush
What are you doing to us?
We've been through hell man, it's time we went home
The captain he yelled out
"Sniper in the house!"
Then the RPG blew him to blue blazes
Johnny hold on
Chopper be returned
Just one more op-ed, then you and me going home
The hummer took the bend
At forty plus and then
The IED cut the door and the driver to pieces
Nothing to do
Squeeze a picture of you
Pray to God just to win when I get home
So hoist up the stars and stripes
Gonna break out tonight
Johnny hold on man, whatever you do, don't let go
Hey President Bush
What are you doing to us?
Johnny up front man, I just wanna go home
The stars have disappeared
Oh I can smell the fear
I'll hear those AK-47's forever
Johnny don't cry
We're gonna make it home I swear to God
Just gotta hold on man, the sun'll soon be dawning
The corporal he got hit
Fell into a ditch
Hold his head up man, don't let him sink under
Then a thundering breeze
Split the skeleton trees
Sweet hum of that chopper, last sound I'll remember
So hoist up the stars and stripes
Gonna break out tonight
Johnny hold on man, whatever you do, don't let go
Hey President Bush
Looks like you missed the bus
Johnny's in heaven man, better take that kid home
Take him home
Take him home
Take him home
Take him home
Take them home
Take them home
Take them home
Take them home
