Lyrics

The poppy fields of Afghanistan

Verse 1:
I just turned eighteen
I've never picked a fight
But now my country needs me
I do what I think is right
I say goodbye to momma
I promise I will write
As me and my best buddy
Take off on an unknown flight

Chorus:
Out in the poppy fields of Afghanistan
In the line of fire unseen
As the bullets flew around our heads
And we dodged those IEDs
I couldn't have wished for a better friend
Than the one I stood beside
No braver man fought the Taliban
in the poppy fields of Afghanistan

Verse 2:
Out on the dawn patrol
Standing side by side
While seeking out insurgents
He fell where he held the line
He called out for his momma
Said his daddy would be proud
I gently held my buddy
As he died on foreign ground

Chorus:
Out in the poppy fields of Afghanistan
In the line of fire unseen
As the bullets flew around our heads
And we dodged those IEDs
I couldn't have wished for a better friend
Than the one I stood beside
No braver man fought the Taliban
In the poppy fields of Afghanistan

Chorus:
Out in the poppy fields of Afghanistan
In the line of fire unseen
As the bullets flew around our heads
And we dodged those IEDs
I couldn't have wished for a better friend
Than the one I stood beside
No braver man fought the Taliban
In the poppy fields of Afghanistan
