Dennis DeYoung - Private Jones lyrics

Private Jones fought for democracy Lookin' high and low for W.M.D He wanted to be brave for his dad and mom He never saw the flash from the roadside bomb And on the day he enlisted And he got his gun He'd been itchin' for action Since the towers fell on 9-1-1 Private Jones knew that he had the nerve A true patriot who was proud to serve He never had a doubt that he'd do his best But when the bullets fly it's a hell of a test And on the day he departed And he held his wife Private Jones had told her No way I'm gonna lose my life All honor all glory To those who made the sacrifice Heyyyyy Remember their stories Tell everyone they paid the price Alleluia I say Alleluia Alleluia I say Alleluia Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa (interlude 00:40) Alleluia Private Jones knew there was hell to pay He knew that truth from the very first day He came to liberate and he aimed to please But he couldn't tell his friends from his enemies But in the heat of battle He saw freedom's light And it was somethin' to die for So Private Jones did stand and fight All honor all glory To those who made the sacrifice Heyyyyy Remember the heroes Tell everyone they paid the price Alleluia I say Alleluia Alleluia I say Alleluia Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa All honor all glory To those who made the sacrifice Heyyyyy Remember to pray for All those who chose to pay the price Tell everyone they paid the price Alleluia I say Alleluia Alleluia I say Alleluia Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
