Boys in Uniform

Writers: Jim McBride, Margaret Findley, Derik Ruttan

Vs1: THE STANDS WERE FULL ON FRIDAY NIGHT
STATE TITLE ON THE LINE
WE HAD TO DO IT ONE MORE TIME
THE WILDCATS HAD TO WIN THE MARCHING BAND BEGAN TO PLAY
THE LOCKER ROOM GREW STILL
WE ALL BOWED OUR HEADS TO PRAY
BEFORE WE TOOK THE FIELD
CHORUS:
WE WERE THE BOYS IN UNIFORM
KNEW WHAT WE WERE FIGHTING FOR
WE WERE STRONG AND WE WERE BRAVE
AND READY FOR ANYTHING
WITH ALL OUR HEARTS AND ALL OUR MIGHT
FAST AND FEARLESSLY WE'D STRIKE
LIKE LIGHTNING IN A STORM
WE WERE THE BOYS IN UNIFORM

Vs2: M16s IN OUR YOUNG HANDS
WE SHIELD OUR EYES AND CURSE THE SAND
THAT SWIRLS UP AS THE CHOPPERS LAND
TO TAKE US INTO WAR
WE KNOW WE'RE NOT QUITE BULLET PROOF
SO WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL SEE US THROUGH
THE JOB WE'VE BEEN TRAINED TO DO
THEN HELP US MAKE IT HOME

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE: ON A CLEAR NOVEMBER DAY
VETERANS MARCH IN THEIR PARADE
SOME CAN ONLY STAND THERE ON THE SIDE
SALUTE THE FLAG AS IT GOES BY
BUT THEY REMEMBER
AND WE REMEMBER

REPEAT CHORUS:
