Called in a gun truck to clean out a rats nest, those boys

It takes a hard man to fight this war

Tripped an I-E-D today, and I just walked away

Am                             C            G
Dance through oil field fires, choke on the dust
Am                             C       D
Over here the skies are always raining rust
