(Genre 3)

 

"Wartime Hero"

Training for war

Wasn’t quite a bore

All over the United States

Leaving behind our loving mates

Overseas is my next station

To perform my work in radio communication

Meeting people I love so dear

Knowing my family is nowhere near

Friends brought girls to dance with us

Some found love, some found lust

Changing the way I lead my life

With fellow soldiers instead of my wife

Playing soccer wasn’t my high

Thank god I didn’t witness anyone die

Love for the country got me in this

Although it is something I will not miss

Keeping with me a lucky clover

Praying for the war to be over

Flying back in the plane victorious

America won, oh how glorious

Returning home without harm

To continue my work on the farm
