The Differenz
Really great to hear a song like this from a soldier's perspective, great monologue to mama, knowing that she will be proud of her son and his commitment to serve our great country. I personally want to thank you for serving and for all that you have gone through to preserve our freedom. I enjoyed listening to your song very much.

Fayetteville NC / Momma You'll Be Proud of Me
Lyrics by Edgar Wise
Momma, the Army gave me orders to
Fayetteville
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County
Fayetteville NC
Momma, I'm gonna be a member of that
Airborne Corps
Oh yes, Momma
You'll be proud of me
Remember that look on your face when
I told you I was joining the Army?
You must have thought I was crazy,
But I want to make you proud of me.
I completed basic training and my AIT
Then it was off to jump school to be someone elite
I want to show you Momma,
You'll be proud of me.
Got my orders. they came in today
My jaw dropped open, could find nothing to say
I am off to North Carolina
Fayetteville, NC
82nd Airborne, jumping out of airplanes
some people call them heroes, others call them insane
But I'm excited Momma,
You'll be proud of me.
Momma, the Army gave me orders to
Fayetteville
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County
Fayetteville NC
Momma, I'm proud to be a member of that
Airborne Corp
Oh Yes Momma,
You'll be proud of me.
Momma, we're leaving on a mission out of
Fayetteville
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County
Fayetteville NC
Momma, I'm gonna fight Al Queda in
Afghanistan
Don't worry Momma,
You'll be proud of me.
Ramp down
Green light glow
Heart is pounding
Jump Master yells GO
I'm in the air floating down from the night sky
Tracer rounds zooming by like a thousand fire flies
I try to steady my gun but I am wounded by a
Round that I couldn't see
I'm bleeding out,
Everything is getting dizzy
I look down
Momma all I can see is
Wow, I'm at the drop zone at
Fayetteville??
There you are walking up with that look in your eyes
I can see the tears falling please Momma don't cry
I only wanted to be the very best
Son I could possibly be
Come on Momma let me see you smile again
Oh Momma, you are proud of me.
Momma, they're bringing me back to
Fayetteville
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County
Fayetteville NC
Momma, I know you will be waiting there at
Fayetteville
Don't cry Momma,
I know you're proud of me.
Momma, they're bringing me back to
Fayetteville
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County
Fayetteville, NC
Momma, I know you will be waiting there at
Fayetteville
Take my flag Momma
I know you're proud of me.
