“FIGHTIN’ MAN” Writer: Mitch Stephen [verse] He keeps a King James bible, in a dresser drawer Beside the medals he won, in that ragin’ war He's got scars in places, there shouldn’t be Some you can and some you cain’t see [verse] Finds it hard to sleep, in the dead of night An incoming dream, then a fire fight A lot of good men, didn’t make it back And he ain’t sure what to do with that [chorus] So it’s “Sir Yes Sir”, he’s still gung-ho Do another year’s tour if they’d let’em go It's what he wants Now it’s all he knows He's the first to his feet, when the flag is raised Find a tear in his eye when the anthem plays For guys like that It ain’t just some damn flag When you’re a fightin’ man [instrumental] [bridge] He never talks about it He keeps it to himself Call him “a hero” He'll leave that to someone else [breakdown] Was a part of him missin’ when he came home Longitude Latitude still unknown Every day’s a battle, but he’s doin’ the best he can There’s no given’ up... When you’re a fightin’ man [chorus] So it’s “Sir Yes Sir”, he’s still gung-ho Do another year’s tour if they’d let’em go It's what he wants Now it’s all he knows He's the first to his feet, when the flag is raised Find a tear in his eye when the anthem plays For guys like that It ain’t just some damn flag When you’re a fightin’ man [Tag] Say a prayer for the fightin’ man Thank God for the fightin’ man
