Green Beret Lyrics

Three tours in 85 one more time back in 99 that's right

18 he shipped out fast

All he ever knew was serve your country man

Laid down his gun to watch the sky

Those stars remind him of her eyes

He sat there and said to himself when I get home ima make that girl my wife

Fast forward a couple days

She sends him a letter and he tucks it somewhere safe

I love you but boy be safe

Cause now you're a daddy I just got the news today

He lifts his gun to fire a round

Those stars and stripes were waving proud

He couldn't see that blast come out the ground

That flag is folded now

She still don't know what it means hope she don't figure it out

That day her hearts gonna break

Green Beret Green Beret

Her mom will tell her the truth soon

But as of right now

She just think daddies away

I saw a girl in a green beret

Green Beret Green Beret

Sometime now down the road she's walking down the stairs

In her prom dress

He mom looks up to the sky and under her breath

Says damn look what you missed

That's little girl looks up there too

She pulls that hat out of the blue

Sets it on top her head and tells her dad

I'll save a dance for you

Cause now she knows what it means

She finally figured it out

Since then she ain't been the same

Green Beret Green Beret

Her mama told her the truth said daddies your angel now

She wears it everyday

She's still the girl in a green beret

Green beret Green Beret

Green Beret Green Beret

Her right hand lifted feels him with her more than ever today

I will maintain myself my arms and my equipment she says

She's standing there dressed in green moms got a smile on her face

Look boy she turned out okay

I'll have to let her go soon and give her angel the reigns

And pray to God she'll be safe

Now she's the girl in the green beret

Cause now she knows what it means walking in his footsteps now

Just like her daddy these days

Now she's the girl in the green beret

Now she's the girl in the Green Beret
