[Verse 1] Another southern boy trying to get his degree Signed off his name to the military He enlisted like his dad did before Coz he didn't want stick around his home no more He said Son,stand up straight, stand inline Like when they called my number back in ‘69 Don't wait around no more boy for WWIII Cause no one's too innocent for enemies [Chorus] And she said Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby! Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby! [Verse 2] He met a southern belle on the cheap seats in the lawn At a heartbreakers concert,they kissed on the last song It didn't take long ‘til they were saying “I do” But he'd solemnly swore to the army too She wore a long white dress, he wore his uniform As the water was arising on the arabian shores He watched the towers fall,knew he'd have to go The honeymoon could could wait, no more Mexico [Chorus] Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby! Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby! My baby Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby!' Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby [Verse 3] He wondered who he was fighting for to be free When he was staying up for days taking amphetamines You knew you don't have to live like a refugee But he said The army life is the life for me Everytime he'd salute he'd look down at his Wedding band And every night he thought he saw her face in the sand One night he left his post,stumbled into the dark It only took her fourth step don't even need a spark she said [Chorus] Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby! Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby! My baby Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby!' Don't Don't go Don't go Don't go my baby
