Verse

Now, he didn't ask to go

But Ol' Sammy called his number

He boarded that old Greyhound bus

Headed for Fort Benning, Georgia

Basic training in the summer
A#m
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

In army green with an M-16

In 1965

He was fighting for me

When he sees Ol' Glory raised
B F#
He still cries like it's 1965
C# A#m B
Yeah, 1965
[Verse 2]

Now he didn't ask to go

But them Hueys dropped him off, and
That's when the enemy got real
B
Body bags headed for coffins

He didn't know how much being an American would cost him

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

The fear of death, and a number
