Story Teller III - Pain in the rear

Hey Bradley come over here and sit by the fire
ah this is perfect weather for camping young fellow
I sure am glad that we had a spare truck tire
I marked where the hole was I marked it in yellow

tomorrow we'll go to town and get us a new one
but now it's time to sit back and just enjoy
camping is a great time to tell stories and have fun  
grandad has a story he wants you to hear boy

here we'll have a beer now don't tell your dad
you know you're almost old enough to go off to war
I have a story I want to share with you lad
it's a story my grandad told me one night in a bar

he was just 17 and felt he had a duty to do
the Germans had started throwing their weight
so he joined Uncle Sam's army and off he flew
of course his family was concerned for his fate

only 2 weeks overseas on dangerous foreign soil  
scary face to face combat with other young boys
he was fighting in Africa protecting their oil
these guns and bullets were real not just toys

these kids were scared but they were brave
fighting for freedom from Jerry *******
many of these youngsters still did not shave
they'd give their lives in honor of their nation

well the guns were blazing bullets zinging by
trying to stay low keep your head down out of fear
then he felt the burning pain but he would not cry
he took friendly fire two rounds right in his rear
