K9 Brother

CANINE BROTHER

JOSH WAS A YOUNG BOY WHEN THE TWIN TOWERS FELL
HEARD FATEFUL STORIES HIS FAMILY WOULD TELL
HE SWORE RIGHT THEN AND THERE OUT OF RESPECT
HE'D RISK HIS LIFE TO SERVE AND PROTECT

HIS MOMMA BEGGED HIM NOT TO LEAVE THE NEST
WHEN HE CHOSE THE MARINES THE BEST OF THE BEST
FOUR YEARS LATER IN AFGHANISTAN
HIS FRONT LINE BROTHER WAS A DOG NOT A MAN

CHORUS
NOW HIS CANINE BROTHER STILL WALKS THIS EARTH
STILL SNIFFING OUT BOMBS BURIED IN THE DIRT
IN A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM THAT'LL NEVER DIE
HIS CANINE BROTHER IS MISSIN' HIM TONIGHT

ON NIGHT PATROL THAT FATEFUL DAY
THEY CAME TO A STREAM ALONG THE WAY
JOSH PICKED UP HIS BEST FRIEND AND THREW HIM ACROSS
JUST A FEW STEPS LATER ONE LIFE WAS SAVED, ONE LIFE WAS LOST

CHORUS
NOW HIS CANINE BROTHER STILL WALKS THIS EARTH
STILL SNIFFING OUT BOMBS BURIED IN THE DIRT
IN A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM THAT'LL NEVER DIE
HIS CANINE BROTHER STILL MISSES HIM TONIGHT

BRIDGE
AND THE MARINES, WHO WERE RIGHT, THERE WITH HIM
SAY HE WAS A LION AMONG MEN
A BROTHER, A WARRIOR AND A DOGS BEST FRIEND

CHORUS
