I live each day like it's my last and I think today will be
But that is just the optimist that lies inside of me
Daddy he got drafted by the will of Uncle Sam
By the hand of God and the Vietcong he died in Vietnam
Mother couldn't raise three kids but she could raise her hand
Every night my brother's and my sister's hides got tanned
Daddy's little soldier girl is in Afghanistan
Me I wander 'round this country wondering who the hell I am
They said my brother was different but I didn't give a damn
He got married in Frisco and got murdered in Alabam'
