A Kid With A Uniform And Gun - / / / Don't know what you saw over there, another time someplace somewhere, just a kid with a uniform and a gun Sign up for something to do, steady pay across an ocean of blue somewhere in the land of the midnight sun A medal for bravery, and a few medals more, dispatches from that far east war, discharge papers all kept in a drawer A question from a curious kid, what was it like, what you did there's a far-away look for an answer, nothing more Memories, of long gone heroes who still live in your dreams Memories, of the good and the bad and all the gray in-between Memories, can't forget what should have never been Memories, lest we forget... Instrumental - / / / / - / / / / Nothing said, nothing more, than a black & white photo worn and torn, he was so young, could've been anyone Someone's brother, someone's son, a memory now, forever young, just a kid with a uniform and a gun Repeat Chorus So you carry that flag in that fall parade, for all the ones not here today, for what you saw and for what was done Good and evil, black and white, you did your best, what you thought was right just a kid with a uniform and a gun
