[Verse 1]
Another southern boy trying to get his degree
Signed off his name to the military
He enlisted like his dad did before
Coz he didn't want stick around his home no more
He said
Son,stand up straight, stand inline
Like when they called my number back in ‘69
Don't wait around no more boy for WWIII
Cause no one's too innocent for enemies
[Chorus]
And she said
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby!
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby!
[Verse 2]
He met a southern belle on the cheap seats in the lawn
At a heartbreakers concert,they kissed on the last song
It didn't take long ‘til they were saying “I do”
But he'd solemnly swore to the army too
She wore a long white dress, he wore his uniform
As the water was arising on the arabian shores
He watched the towers fall,knew he'd have to go
The honeymoon could could wait, no more Mexico
[Chorus]
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby!
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby!
My baby
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby!'
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby
[Verse 3]
He wondered who he was fighting for to be free
When he was staying up for days taking amphetamines
You knew you don't have to live like a refugee
But he said
The army life is the life for me
Everytime he'd salute he'd look down at his
Wedding band
And every night he thought he saw her face in the sand
One night he left his post,stumbled into the dark
It only took her fourth step don't even need a spark she said
[Chorus]
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby!
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby!
My baby
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby!'
Don't
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go my baby
