intro: A G D
Verse:
Said goodbye to his mamma as he left South Dakota
to fight fot the red, white, an
d blue.
He was nineteen in 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 seargent said
Look up ahea
d.
Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down
On him and 26 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.
Bridge:
Saw an eagle fly through a cl
ear blue sky
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 shrapnell they left in his
leg.
He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo
He ties it on one time a
year.
He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
And swallows it down with his
tears.
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.

Chorus:(x3)
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
