Toby Keith - Ballad Of Balad lyrics

Your rating:

I quit school in the 10th grade and I grew out my hair

I got me a job doin' lawnmower repair

I met an army recruiter down at the Winn Dixie

He said "son you've no future, pack up and go with me"



The first place we landed was a base called Balad

They convoyed our asses to a 10 acre F.O.B.

With my boots and my cover and an old m16

Two bottles of water and a cold M.R.E.



[Chorus:]

Oh you'll meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid

We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade

It's not a job, it's an adventure, oh yes sir I got that

Ah but you never told me I'd get my ass shot at

You never told me I'd get my ass shot at



The first night in combat we went out on patrol

They ambushed our convey and we chased the asshole

We found them all hidin' in low water ditches

And we took aim and killed all them son of a bitches



[Repeat Chorus]



Walked in on my buddy with a female M.P.

The ugliest woman you ever did see

He said "why are you laughin', you got lots of nerve"

Over here in the desert we grade on the curve



Ah you'll meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid

We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade

It's not a job, it's an adventure, oh yes sir I got that

Ah but you never told me I'd get my ass shot at

Oh you never told him he'd get his ass shot at
