Afraid to Fight
Eighteen, graduated sent off to war
Traded in that diploma for a forty-four
Hot days, cold nights, boots on the ground
Shed blood, sweat, and tears for his Uncle Sam
Mom and Daddy wanted college and a good job
Settle down, buy a house, couple acre lot
He was raised up tough, never backed down
Wore his heart on his sleeve, gave every ounce
Daddy said, son you don't have to go, you know
He says Daddy I know but
I ain't afraid to fight
I ain't scared to give all I got
I ain't the kind to tuck and run
When hard times come there ain't no doubt
I ain't afraid of bruises, the truth is
I know where my faith lies
This is me, I ain't gonna change 'til the day I die
'Cause I ain't afraid to fight
Four years down the road, traded in the gun
Got a wife, picket fence, and some little ones
Everything's running smooth in paradise
'Til it's dishes breaking, yelling on a late night
She's got her bags packed heading off to the door
Saying is this love worth fighting for?
Tells him any other man would've already let me go
And he says baby I know, but
I ain't afraid to fight
I ain't scared to give all I got
I ain't the kind to tuck and run
When hard times come there ain't no doubt
I ain't afraid of bruises, the truth is
I know where my faith lies
This is me, I ain't gonna change 'til the day I die
'Cause I ain't afraid to fight
That road's nearly wound up at its end
As they wait for the doctor to come in
Stage three surely ain't what they wanna hear
Face down in his hands as he's shedding tears
She reaches out, takes him by the hand
Tells him honey, don't you know God's got a plan
Don't you ever forget those words you said that night
'Cause baby, you were right
We ain't afraid to fight
We ain't scared to give all we got
We ain't the kind to tuck and run
When hard times come there ain't no doubt
We ain't afraid of bruises, the truth is
We know where our faith lies
This is us, we ain't gonna change 'til the day we die
This is us, we ain't gonna change 'til the day we die
'Cause we ain't afraid to fight
We ain't afraid to fight
We ain't afraid to fight
Traded in that diploma for a forty-four
Hot days, cold nights, boots on the ground
Shed blood, sweat, and tears for his Uncle Sam
Mom and Daddy wanted college and a good job
Settle down, buy a house, couple acre lot
He was raised up tough, never backed down
Wore his heart on his sleeve, gave every ounce

I ain't afraid to fight
I ain't scared to give all I got
I ain't the kind to tuck and run
When hard times come there ain't no doubt
I ain't afraid of bruises, the truth is

We ain't afraid to fight
We ain't afraid to fight
