I Will Always Love You

This song is dedicated to the heroes, the real heroes

The young men and women that have given their life

And risked their life, for this country

You thought you knew everything

Dropped out of school at seventeen

Try to get a job at an early age

But no diploma means minimum wage

Bumped into a military recruiter, said

"This ain't no game, no first person shooter"

With high school you missed it, so that day you enlisted

First day off the cattle truck

Basic training, scared as fuck

Drill instructors, demons from hell

You never forget once you hear them yell (move it, move it, move it, move it)

Six weeks of torture drives you insane

March, run, march, train

You askin' yourself why the fuck you came

Lock and load, thirty rounds, watch your lane!

I, I always will love you

I, I always will love you

We, we always will love you

We, we always will love you

We always will love you

Always will love you

Always will love you

Basic bullshit, the AIT

Been through a unit, company, squad

You finally get a break cause training its hard

You meet your new fam, a platoon of men

You bond with them, they become your boys

Two months later you're all deployed

Now down range, shit gets real

Enemy shoot back, confirm your kills

You learn firsthand, PTSD

Your best friend killed, by an IED

You watch your whole team get blown apart

You catch a frag and a purple heart

You write back home, you lost your pride

You struggle with thoughts of suicide

To this country you gave your life

And we must respect your sacrifice

I, I always will love you

I, I always will love you

We, we always will love you

We, we always will love you

We always will love you

Always will love you

Always will love you

This goes out to my fellow vets

Sometimes you come home, you don't get the respect you deserve

You don't get the love and the praise that you should

Well I'm here to give it to you right now

Lot of times people don't realize

That the freedoms we have here

People have fought, died for, given their lives

Come on, man, I love you

I, I always will love you

I, I always will love you

We, we always will love you

We, we always will love you
