Joey White, well he ain't got no choices

Just like his daddy did, he joins the armed forces

For Uncle Sam, well he'll be a hero

Oh Joey White, you better bite your tongue
E       B7
You don't know jack, boy
    E        B7
You're young, dumb and full of cum
E       B7  E      B7
Better step in line, go with the others
E        B7         E        B7
Gonna fight for freedom, son, your country and your brothers
Am
Here's your boots and here's a gun

Learn when to fight, learn when to run
        E B7 E B7
Poor Joey White

      Am
Well he got two years in the sand,
                      E B7 E B7
And it will surely change his plans for life

E  B7   E        B7
Joey White, well he gets his orders

Grab your things and we'll meet you at the border
E    B7  E     B7
Kill 'em all, no quarter given

Shoot on sight, boy, let God sort out the livin'
Am
Told ya no one's keeping score

This ain't no game, well this is war
       E B7 E B7
For Joey White

      Am
Yeah, from below and from the sky

Hear drums and bullets fly
   B7
Oh a scream of battle cry

Bodies burn and brothers die
        E B7 E B7 E B7 E B7 E B7 E B7 (strum hard)
Poor Joey White

E  B7   E          B7
Joey White, well you better run faster
E       B7       E~
You can't run fast enough to avoid this grave disaster
E     B7  E        B7
Well in a flash blood soaks his shirt
E      B7       E        B7
Drops to his knees, now he's face down in the dirt
Am
Now his only freedom blurred
                      E B7 E B7
Gets to leave this Hell on Earth still alive

Am
Now his heart's filled up with lead

He got demons in his head
    E~
For life
