Lyrics Body Count – I Will Always Love You
Text:
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
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
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
