James Otto - Soldiers & JesusLyrics

Well granddaddy came home in a B-52 In a pine box covered in red, white, and blue He was one of the brave and the proud and the few 21 guns helped us say goodbye I stood there in silence trying hard not to cry As the preacher he quoted lines written in red And he folded his bible in a broken voice he said There's only two people whose ever died for me Laid down their lives just so I could be free They both went through hell bared crosses and shells And both got back up again after they fell They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus It seems like the news loves to run em' both down Whenever we need em' there always around So don't hand me a parties political views There's left side and right side and then there's the truth There's only two people whose ever died for me Laid down their lives just so I could be free They both went through hell bared crosses and shells And both got back up again after they fell They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus To me there both heroes for the path that they chose One fights for my life one fights for my soul There's only two people whose ever died for me Laid down their lives just so I could be free They both went through hell bared crosses and shells And both got back up again after they fell They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus Soldiers and Jesus Well granddaddy came home in a B-52 In a pine box covered in red, white, and blue
