I DON'T KNOW
WHY I LEFT
BUT I KNOW IT
WON'T BE LONG
NO IT WON'T BE LONG
'TIL I GET BACK HOME
4 BAR
BREAK
THEY GAVE ME A
GREEN UNIFORM
AND BLACK BOOTS
FOR MY FEET
EIGHTEEN
AND WILD AS HELL
I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE NEAT
THEY PUT ME ON
A PLANE
TO SOME STRANGE
AND FOREIGN LAND
I SAID GOODBYE
TO MOM AND DAD
AND HELLO
TO UNCLE SAM
ONCE I WAS A SOLDIER
NOT AFRAID TO DIE
NOW I'M A LITTLE OLDER
NOT AFRAID TO CRY
EVERYDAY
I'M THANKFUL
JUST TO BE ALIVE
WHEN YOU'VE BEEN
WHERE I'VE BEEN
ANY KIND OF LIFE
IS PARADISE
CHRISTMAS
OF EIGHTY-NINE
WAS A LONELY TIME
FOR ME
PANAMA
WAS PROBABLY FINE
BUT IT WAS NOTHIN'
LIKE TENNESSEE
I NEVER THOUGHT
THE DAY WOULD COME
WHEN I MIGHT HAVE TO
KILL A MAN
I DID NOT SLEEP A WINK
THAT NIGHT
BUT WE WON
FOR UNCLE SAM
ONCE I WAS A SOLDIER
NOT AFRAID TO DIE
NOW I'M A LITTLE OLDER
NOT AFRAID TO CRY
EVERYDAY
I'M THANKFUL
JUST TO BE ALIVE
WHEN YOU'VE BEEN
WHERE I'VE BEEN
ANY KIND OF LIFE
IS PARADISE
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
IF YOU'VE BEEN
WHERE I'VE BEEN
ANY KIND OF LIFE
IS PARADISE
IT'S PARADISE
PARADISE
