My love letters in the trunk Gone to bed at 21 Made a big mistake...tryin' to think ahead Better alive and chicken...than bein' shipped home dead I guess I'll live on...in her memories 'Cause I see angels and devils...wavin' down at me I joined the Army just to please her Put my ideas in the freezers My love letters in the trunk Gone to bed at 21 Gone to bed at 21 Gone to bed at 21 Gone to bed at 21 Gone to bed at 21 (Gone to bed at 21) I joined the Army just to please her (Gone to bed at 21) Put my ideas in the freezers (Gone to bed at 21) My love letters in the trunk Gone to bed at 21 Gone to bed at 21 Gone to bed at 21
