Army Green by Cassidy Shay (free e novels TXT) 📕

Pulling up in his truck
He doesn't meet her eye
Both of them know full well
This could be the last good-bye

He takes her hand
They get out of the truck
Both of them hoping
For the best of luck

Army green and laced-up boots
Standing in his crisp, new suit
In the crowd, someone cries
He's ready to go risk his life

Been away for seven months
Only thinking "What will she say?
Will she run? Will she cry?
When she sees me on that day?"

Only two weeks left to go
When everything goes wrong
Two weeks seemed so short
Until they saw the bomb

The flag's delivered
The bad news is told
He had only been
Nineteen years old

He knew what he wanted
He knew the cost
He paid the price
Like the others we've lost

Army green and laced-up boots
Laying in his worn-out suit
In the crowd, someone cries
This soldier's gone and lost his life
