when I did first enlist
I tried to stay away
but after you get that kiss
you will miss it

I read all the history books
and I sat with silver screen
and I aways had to look
singin' na na na na na na na...

major - has this feeling all the time
major - soldier boys are so, so blind
major - maybe you're the next in line

veterans of the game
with their whiskey long-life scars
some will put the blame
on the pain

I am choosing a life of hate
with destruction down my path
I wanna disappear
singin' na na na na na na na...

major - has this feeling all the time
major - soldier boys are so, so blind
major - your revealing, how I am feeling, trying to
make
and I can't take it

stories of their tongues
you can't lose it in your mind
with a bottle in your hand
touching time

it ain't no paper moon
and I don't wanna a purple heart
or a suitcase full of regrets
singin' na na na na na na na...

major - has this feeling all the time
major - soldier boys are so, so blind
major - maybe you're the next in line
next in line
next in line
next in line
next in line to go home
