LYRICS:
'LANCE CORPORAL AUSTIN'
V1:
OUT IN THE PANHANDLE
IN A PLACE WE COME FROM
ME AND AARON AUSTIN
MARCHED TO A DIFFERENT DRUM
LIKE THE LONGHORNS AND AGGIES
WE COULD NEVER GET ALONG
IF ONE OF US WAS RIGHT
THE OTHER MUST BE WRONG
HE MOVED TO NEW MEXICO
FOR A COUPLE YEARS
HE CAME BACK TO SUNRAY
WITH A DIAMOND IN HIS EAR
DRESSED UP LIKE SOME GANGSTER
HIS PANTS WERE FALLING DOWN
HE COULDN'T SEE A FUTURE
IN OUR TEXAS TOWN
NEXT TIME I SAW AARON
HE HAD SERVED IN THE MARINES
I NEVER WOULD'A THOUGHT IT
IN MY WILDEST DREAMS
SHOWED UP ON MY DOORSTEP
ASKING ME TO SING
A SONG HE LOVED BY STAIND
CALLED EPIPHANY
CHORUS:
AND I PLAYED.... AND MAMA PRAYED
HE WOULDN'T GO BACK TO WAR
BUT HE SAID HE HAD TO FIGHT SOME MORE
AT TWENTY ONE YEARS OF AGE IS WHEN WE LOST HIM
HE SACRIFICED HIS LIFE AND LORD IT COST HIM
BUT WE GAINED A LOT OF FREEDOM....
THANKS TO LANCE CORPORAL AUSTIN
V2:
ON A ROOF TOP IN FALLUJAH
AARON GAVE HIS ALL
THEY SAY HE SAVED A LOT OF MEN
WHEN HE TOOK THAT FALL
HE GOT SHOT ABOVE THE VEST
AND STAINED THE ROOF TOP RED
BUT TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS
HIS MEMORY'S NEVER DEAD
CHORUS REPEAT:
OUTRO:
"WE MISS YOU BUDDY..."
IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE
IN THE PLACE WHERE WE COME FROM
ME AND AARON AUSTIN
MARCHED TO A DIFFERENT DRUM
