"AWAY FROM HOME SOLDIERS"

Chorus:
Away from home soldiers
America's proud of you
Leaving your friends and your family
And all you have there are memories to hang on to
Away from home soldiers, America's proud of you
So far away may God bless, givin' yourselves and doin' your best
for your fellow man and for your country land
America, America's proud of you
Verse:
It's not easy for a woman, for a man
To go off to places where they've never been
Strength in mind and a body that is strong
It take to win this war that has begun

Verse:
Soldiers on Land, Ships and Planes
May never see their homeland again
Going where the bombs and bullets fly
There's a chance one will take their life
