  Cadd9                    D       G 
My daddy was a soldier in a foreign war  
   Cadd9                            D    G 
But he doesn't like to talk about it any more  
           Cadd9                   D       Em 
He kept a picture of my mama right by his heart  
            Cadd9                     D              G 
He'd give it one last look before the fighting would start  

        G                     D      Cadd9 
He said all I ask is that you don't forget 
           G                     D        Cadd9 
Cause the wars not over when the fighting ends  
          G                    D         Em 
There's a part of me that will always be  
       Cadd9                 D   G 
Just a boy in a hole with an M-16

I left my best friend lying in a pool of blood  
While I crawled away through the brush and mud  
If I could choose to go back again  
I'd die lying there next to him  
I still see his face when I close my eyes  
As I won't forget his sacrifice  

There's a part of me that will always be  
Just a boy in a hole with an M-16

Cadd9   G 
Oh, oh 
Cadd9   G 
Oh, woah 
Cadd9 G D 
Oh, oh, yeah 

I didn't do it for the money didn't do it for fame  
I didn't do it so the world would remember my name  
I did it for my family and my country,  
And my brothers who died right next to me.  

And all we ask is that you don't forget  
Cause the wars not over when the fighting ends  
There's a part of us that will always be  
Just boys in a hole with our M-16s  
G                D    Cadd9 
Honoring souls and memories
