The Oak Ridge Boys - Sacrifice...For Me lyrics

[The Oak Ridge Boys - Sacrifice...For Me lyrics]

Boy grew up in Caroline
Tobacco farm on the mountainside
Played football for the high school team
Fell in love with Sally Jean
Heard the call of his Uncle Sam
Headed off to Viet Nam
When he comes home gonna settle down
But somewhere, in a river the soldier died
For me

Navajo boy stares at the sky
Tired of the reservation life
He has hopes he has dreams
Joins the United States Marines
Marine works hard, he pulls his weight
His people are proud he's a hero they say
When he comes home, gonna be a great day
But somewhere, in a desert the Marine died
For me

So I can live in the land of free


Raise my kids live my dreams
There's a price for liberty
Sacrifice for me

Punches that clock at a half past eight
Just like any other day
Brooklyn fireman callin' home
Gonna be late something big is going on
The world had changed in just one day
The devil himself had sent those planes
When he gets home gonna hold his wife
But somewhere, in a tower the fireman died
For me

So I can live in the land of free
Raise my kids live my dreams
There's a price for liberty
Sacrifice for me

Long black wall fields of green
Pillar of fire distant beach
Cross of white the hero dies
Sacrificefor me
