Joseph E. Whimple - Ambush lyrics

Young Marine debarks a C-130 in a foreign land Heat...jungles monsoons language I cannot understand Running across a rice paddy motor rounds exploding in a line behind me walking towards me Midnight camouflage paint covers face and hands muscles stiff from lack of movement silence complete...total Hours pa**ed voices heard enemy is coming down the trail Raising my M-16 sweat runs down my face stomach tightens in knots I can see my enemy sighting in the ambush springs Rifle fire...pistol fire grenades explode screams...crying...silence Job complete k** is made body count taken Young Marine drinks a beer smokes a joint goes to sleep
