Army Man

You went to war when you were young

 I'm sure people thought what has he done 

And when your plane came under fire 

I'm sure being back home was your greatest desire 

You landed in one piece safe and sound 

But that was the easy part I'm sure you found 

Your friends at home were out haven fun 

While you were nestling in a bunker clasping a gun 

The battle of the tunnel is a story still told 

Even in the papers the story was sold 

You made it home and a big family was had 

There's no doubt that were all glad 

My dad my hero the man of the hour 

There's no underestimating this man's power 

Hopefully it won't take another year 

Before we get out and have a beer
