joining the army

Lyrics

i told you i was joining the army had no excuse, seemed the right thing to do, and you called me a fool, said i'd come back mean and cruel, i said i just wanted to make my grandfather proud, even though he's not around, been gone since i was 13, i'm still worried what he'd think about me, playin' this guitar just ain't gonna cut it for long, me singing these songs don't compare to what he did over there, i need to prove i can carry my share, take all my own load to bear, to me it only seems fair
