Corporal Phillips (Friday Night Lights)

18 in, 8 years out
Signed that line without a doubt
9/11, Deployed to Iraq
Army Greens and a Old Ruck Sack
Didn't know if I make it back

Boots to the ground running to the hole I went
Months of surviving the Hell I lived
Spend nights talking with the boys, We just reminisce
Mortar rounds lighting up the night sky
Reminding me of back home on the 4th of July
I wonder if they know, I saw a different show
Under Friday Night Lights

3rd Deployment to Afghanistan
Different Country, Same Ole Band
Gun at the Ready, Strapped up the Boots
Me and the Boys learned a thing or two
Everyday feels more like Deja Vu

Boots to the ground running to the Hole I went
Months of surviving the Hell I lived
Spend nights talking with the boys, We just reminisce
Mortar rounds lighting up the night sky
Reminding me of back home on the 4th of July
I wonder if they know, I saw a different show
Under Friday Night Lights

Mortar rounds lighting up the night sky
I prayed to God for one more day to survive
Now that I'm home
that Flag means more to me than you know
Under Friday Night Lights
