I take aim from up and down below

I take aim from the tree in your backyard

I fall asleep but I'm always on guard

I take the shots but I have no authority

I take the shots but I'm not guilty

I'm just a soldier in another war

It doesn't matter who I'm fighting for



(Chorus)

I don't stop till my country says so

I don't stop till the end of the show

I don't know why I hold this gun

I'm just a soldier

Fighting for someone



I have a wife and a big ol' family

I have a wife and she's waiting at home for me

I cleanse my sins as I walk through that door

It doesn't matter what I've done before



(Chorus)

I don't stop till my mission is done

I don't stop till they tell me I've won

I don't know what I'm fighting for

I'm just a soldier aiming for one more



(Bridge)

My family they cover me

My family they cover me

All I see is what I believe

I am not guilty, no

I am not guilty



(Chorus)

I don't stop not even in my dreams

I don't stop seeing things that I've seen

I don't know why I raise this hell

I'm just a soldier fighting for someone else
