 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I'm sure you must have thought sometimes
While lying in the sticks
What the hell am I doin' here
I don't do this for kicks
There's a peaceful town to the south of us and the beach of sand and sun
It's you that fought to keep it
And Troopie Boy, you won!

No matter what you're thinkin' and I know the cost is high
To go through all that hell on earth
And see your best friend die
To feel the world's against you
And the headlines say you're done
You slapped the devil in the face
And Troopie Boy you won!

Although there are no flowers
And a victory parade
Prancing through the cities
In a fancy motorcade
In God's eyes you're a hero
And I know the time will come
When the good things will get back to you
And Troopie Boy you won!

No matter what you're thinkin' and I know the cost is high
To go through all that hell on earth
And see your best friend die
To feel the world's against you
And the headlines say you're done
You slapped the devil in the face
And Troopie Boy you won!

In the world there is no justice
It's all a righteous face
But behind it is corruption
That infests the human race
You just keep your courage
And teach it to your son
Fight for what you know is right
And Troopie Boy you won!

No matter what you're thinkin' and I know the cost is high
To go through all that hell on earth
And see your best friend die
To feel the world's against you
And the headlines say you're done
You slapped the devil in the face
And Troopie Boy you won!
