I Remember 2006 - We Heard Them Coming lyrics
[I Remember 2006 - We Heard Them Coming lyrics]
We were laying low
And listening to the radio
We were playing poker
Hoping to get any yellow chips
We were laying low
And listening to the radio
Until one of us
Heard them coming
He screamed out loud and got our attention
I freaked out and pushed off every poker chip
We looked out and to our surprise
There was an army and we were surrounded
We grabbed our guns and we took aim
Another day of ambush, anguish, and pain
If only we knew then and there
That we have been ambushed and there
Was nothing we could possibly do
We would have it no other way
We were going to die
We had no decision
We were going to have to die
We made wishes
None become true
We all will be dead
Before this war ends
A third of our men were already dead
We were outnumbered about seven out of ten
And it is such a shame because
We could have done good
But alas we already failed
They were approaching fast so we had to flee
There was no time to look behind me
Some stayed behind to slow them down
Gave the others a chance
To leave the battlefield
We ran fast and we ran good
Tried to disappear in the woods
But we weren’t running fast enough
God, we weren’t fast enough
Bullets everywhere and screaming
From our friends
But us who ran were still being shot at
We were almost in the woods
That’s when that bullet pierced my chest
We would have it no other way
We were going to die
We had no decision
We were going to have to die
We made wishes
None become true
We all will be dead
Before this war ends
A third of our men were already dead
We were outnumbered about seven out of ten
And it is such a shame because
We could have done good
But alas we already failed
And listening to the radio
We were playing poker
Hoping to get any yellow chips
We were laying low
And listening to the radio
Until one of us
Heard them coming
He screamed out loud and got our attention
I freaked out and pushed off every poker chip
We looked out and to our surprise
There was an army and we were surrounded
We grabbed our guns and we took aim
Another day of ambush, anguish, and pain
If only we knew then and there
That we have been ambushed and there
Was nothing we could possibly do
We would have it no other way
We were going to die
We had no decision
We were going to have to die
We made wishes
None become true
We all will be dead
Before this war ends
A third of our men were already dead
We were outnumbered about seven out of ten
And it is such a shame because
We could have done good
But alas we already failed
They were approaching fast so we had to flee
There was no time to look behind me
