Preacher said he died too young

Over there totin' that gun

For uncle sam and our freedom

Mom and daddy dressed in black

They folded up that flag

Handed it to dad

Started prayin'

Yeah he went out 21 guns blazin'

An' that's one hell of an amen

That's the only way to go

Fightin' the good fight

Til the good lord calls you home

And so be well my friend

Til' I see you again

This is our last goodbye

But it's a hell of an amen amen

Doctor said he ain't got long

He just smiled said bring it on

If you think I'm scared

You got me all wrong

A little cancer can't break me

My heart's right and I believe

We all hit our knees

Started prayin'

Naw he never gave up

Said the good lord's waitin'

An' that's one hell of an amen

That's the only way to go

Fightin' the good fight

Til the good lord calls you home

So be well my friend

Til' I see you again

Yeah this is our last goodbye

But it's a hell of an amen

So be well my friend

Til' I see you again

This is our last goodbye

But it's a hell of an amen
