If I Can

I knew a boy long ago – man he loved to play war

Breaking windows, raising hell – never knew what fighting's for

Time marches on – we knew our dads were waiting at home

Stood there proudly like a man, said - I don't know if I can

We grew up in a town up North – New York we called our home

We'd always find a way – run away from doing chores

Time marches on – I remember the day he joined the core

He stood there proudly like a man, said - I don't know if I can

Letters come in by two's – said he didn't like this war

They roamed from town-to-town – had to fight the devil some more
