Lions of Kandahar

My deployment starts today I told my wife I'd be okay I told my daughter I'd come home Please don't worry when I'm gone And I waved goodbye in the parade With my men, we walked away And when our boots hit the ground I knew it wouldn't be long now At the Lions of Kandahar And we rained hell down on those men As we advanced again Cut 'em down against all odds No matter what the cost At the Lions of Kandahar New orders came around For us to take the higher ground And defend it with our lives And I feared we'd pay a price And my boys, they fell right in They trusted me again I knew I couldn't let 'em down We'd come too far now At the Lions of Kandahar Raining hell down on those men As we advance again Cut 'em down against all odds No matter what the cost At the Lions of Kandahar Civilian life ain't easy After what I've seen and done I still hear the choppers coming Still hear the thumping of those guns And they tell us that we're all right So scared to hear the truth When I close my eyes at night I'm right back in the fight With the Lions of Kandahar Raining hell down on those men As we advance again Cut 'em down against all odds No matter what the cost At the Lions of Kandahar We cut 'em down against all odds No matter what the cost At the Lions of Kandahar
