Verse:
 
G                              C 
Well I turned eighteen and I didn't know 
D                     G 
just what to do and where to go 
G                              C 
I didn't play no sports, I wasn't in no band 
D                     G 
Didn't want to eat from some boss's hand 

 
G                              C 
But I always liked what the general said 
D                     G 
and I ain't afraid to end up dead 
G                              C 
daddy always said to be a man 
D                     G 
so I'm shippin off to Afghanistan 



Verse:
 
Well my girlfriend says that I must be crazy 
cause up to now I've just been lazy 
sitting around no purpose at all 
waiting for the big old axe to fall 


But I always liked what the general said 
and I ain't afraid to end up dead 
daddy always said to be a man 
so I'm shippin off to Afghanistan 



Verse: 
Well I saw a recruiter just the other day 
said if you're looking for adventure come this way 
gave me a pen, he said sign right here 
I said what am I gonna do with mama's tears 


But I always liked what the general said 
and I ain't afraid to end up dead 
daddy always said to be a man 
so I'm shippin off to Afghanistan 



Verse: 
And it was our first night under the desert heat 
we were sitting there pumping jack mark's beats 
when all of a sudden the thunder hit the van 
men saying take cover if you can 


But I always liked what the general said 
and I ain't afraid to end up dead 
daddy always said to be a man 
so I'm shippin off to Afghanistan
