Dad yeah baby girl why is the grass green
Well carlea that because of all the blood bright red blood
Daddy yeah why is the sky blue well that's pretty easy thats an easy one
Carlea that's because God loves the Infantry Daddy yeah why does God love the Infantry well lets see if this will explain for ya ok
After God created heavens and the earth he scraped together some rock and some dirt
Gave it anger and rage blood sweat and guts with the fires of hell he forged it with some steel
Gave it discipline and a battle axe sores on its feet and an aching back
Pleased he called it the infantry
They're hungry dirty and tired and just want to go back home they're ready fight but they pray for peace
And the dream of their life before the infantry
Daddy yeah baby girl thats how God made the infantry but why does he love it
Well that's a fair question lets see if this will clear it up for you ok
From valley forge afghanistan gettysburg normandy to vietnam
The queen of battle has bloodied many a soil they get a stone cross to mark the spot where they lay
For over two hundred years keeping wolves at bay now the man to their left and the man to their right
You and me are the reason they fight now do you see why God loves the infantry
They're hungry dirty and tired and just want to go back home they're ready fight but they pray for peace
And the dream of their life before the infantry
Daddy were you in the infantry nah daddy wasn't in the infantry Carlea I was a medic
Daddy does God love the medic well I think he does love the medic Carlea
Daddy I love you Daddy I love you too baby girl
