Paradise - Craig Morgan

They gave me a green uniform and black boots for my feel

Eighteen and wild as hell, I thought it would be neat

They put me on a plane to some strange and foreign land

I said my good-bye to mom and dad and hello to Uncle Sam

Once I was a soldier and not afraid to die

Now I’m a little older and not afraid to cry

Everyday I’m thankful just to be alive

When you’ve been where I’ve been any kind of life

Is paradise

Christmas of eighty-nine was a lonely time for me

Panama was probably fine but it was nothing like Tennessee

I never thought the day would come when I might have to kill a man

I did not sleep a wink that night but we won for Uncle Sam

Once I was a soldier and not afraid to die

Now I’m a little older and not afraid to cry

Everyday I’m thankful just to be alive

When you’ve been where I’ve been any kind of life

Is paradise

If you’ve been where I’ve been any kind of life

Is paradise

It’s paradise
