in the heat of the summer,
in the darkness of the night,
there is a U.S. solder and he is looking for a fight,
don't you cry him no tears, he don't want your sympathy,
he is a U.S. solder and thats all he'll ever be.
some where there's a mother cryin for her son,
he's a U.S. solder,
dont you cry him no tears, he doesn't want your sympathy,
he's a U.S. solder, and thats all hell ever be.
some where there's a baby, cryin for her dad,
he is a U.S. soldier,
don't you cry him no tears, he doesn't want your sympathy,
he's a U.S. soldier, and thats all he'll ever be.
one day there arived a letter, and this is what it said, we're sorry to inform you, that your soldier is dead, don't cry him no tears, he doesn't want your sympathy, he's a U.S. soldier and that's all he'll ever be.
