Paradise Lyrics

(sing this like the military boot camp songs with no chords) (optional chords)
I don't know why I left (I don't know why I left)
But I know it won't be long (But I know it won't be long)
No It won't be long (No It won't be long) Till I get back home
They gave me a green uniform and black boots for my feet
Eighteen and wild as hell I thought it would be neat
They put me on a plane to some strange and foreign land
I said goodbye to mom and dad hello to Uncle Sam
CHORUS:
Once I was a soldier not afraid to die
Now I'm a little older and not afraid to cry
Every day I'm thankful just to be a-live
When you've been where I've been any kind of life is para-dise
Christmas of '89 was a lonely time for me
At most it was probably fine but it wasn't nothing like Tenne-see
Never thoght the day would come where I might have to kill a man
Did not sleep a wink that night but we won it for Uncle Sam
Chorus, lead, ending
ENDING:
When you've been where I've been any kind of life is para-dise
It's paradise paradise (paradise)
