Boy grew up in Caroline
Tobacco farm on the mountainside
Played football for the high school team
Fell in love with Sally Jean
Heard the call of his Uncle Sam
Headed off to Viet Nam
When he comes home gonna settle down
But somewhere, in a river
The soldier died...
For me
Navajo boy stares at the sky
Tired of the reservation life
He has hopes. He has dreams
Joins the United States Marines
Marine works hard, he pulls his weight
His people are proud. He's a hero they say
When he comes home, gonna be a great day
But somewhere, in a desert
The Marine died...
For me
So I can live
In the land of free
Raise my kids
Live my dreams
There's a price
For liberty
Sacrifice... for me
