Ray Wylie Hubbard - Red Badge Of Courage lyrics

[Ray Wylie Hubbard - Red Badge Of Courage lyrics]

To err is human, to forgive is divine
To err is human, to forgive is divine
Ain't either Marine Corps policy
Neither's crying

My hide's been shot at under
A Middle Eastern sun
My hide's been shot at under
A Middle Eastern sun
I got a red badge of courage, ain't even 21

It's my last tour of duty boys
I'm going back to the USA
It's my last tour of duty boys
I'm going back to the USA

I'll go down to VFW every Memorial Day
What do I say to these ghosts
That keep coming round again?
What do I say to these ghosts
That keep coming round again?
We was just kids doing the dirty work
For the failures of old men
