Big and rich

I have a hard time listening to most of Big and Rich’s songs, feel they are brass, vulgar, or just plain silly. This from a Kentucky Head Hunters, Prairie Oyster fan. But when Big and Rich sing “8th of November” the volume turns up on the radio.
When I went to college there were a few Viet Nam going on their GI Bill, other more broken were bar tenders at the placees we partied at night. If one ever got drunk enough they would tell such stories and have all of us that listen in tears.


Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red, white and blue
He was 19 and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do
He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
With the smell of napalm in the air
And the sergant said...look up ahead
Like a dark evil cloud, 1,200 came down on him and 29 more
They fought for their lives but most of them died in the 173rd Airborne

[Chorus:]

On the 8th of November the angels were crying
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
There were few men left standing that day
Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965, the 8th of November

Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray
But the battle still plays in his head
He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
About the Shrapnel they left in his leg
He puts on a gray suit over his Airborne tattoo
And he ties it on one time a year
And remebers that fallen as he orders a tall one
And swallows it down with his tears

[Chorus]

Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965...
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
THere were few men left standing that day

[Chorus]
8th of November...
8th of November

Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red, white and blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do...

The best and dumbest and smartest move we made last year was getting satelite intenet... Blazing fast when it sunny, not so good during rain and a bit more expensive than I would like.. At least we were able to drop the second phone line and an internet accont.
