Troopie Boy You Won Songtext
von John Edmond

I′m sure you must have thought sometimes while lying in the sticks,
"What the hell am I doing here? I don't do this for kicks!
There′s a peaceful town to the south of us
And a beach of sand and sun."
it's you that fought to keep it
And Troopie boy you won.
No matter what you're thinking, and I know the cost is high;
To go through all that hell on earth and see your best friend die.
To feel the world′s against you and the headlines say you′re done.
You slapped the devil in the face
And Troopie boy you won.
Although there are no flowers and a victory parade;
Prancing through the cities in a fancy motorcade.
In God's eyes you′re also a hero and I know the time will come
When the good things will get back to you
And Troopie boy you won. No matter what you're thinking, and I know the cost is high;
To go through all that hell on earth and see your best friend die.
To feel the world′s against you and the headlines say you're done.
You slapped the devil in the face
And Troopie boy you won.
In the world there is no justice, it′s all a righteous face.
But behind it is corruption, that infests the human race.
You just keep your courage, and teach it to your son;
Fight for what you know is right
And Troopie boy you won.
No matter what you're thinking, and I know the cost is high;
To go through all that hell on earth and see your best friend die.
To feel the world's against you and the headlines say you′re done.
You slapped the devil in the face
And Troopie boy you won.
