Testo Nineteen - Taylor Hicks
Testo della canzone Nineteen (Taylor Hicks), tratta dall'album The Distance
19, the number on his back
Voted captain of the high school football team
Took us all the way to state
Got a scholarship to play down at Tennessee
He could catch, he could throw, he could run
He could go like you've never seen
19, but on the day those Twin Towers came down
His whole world turned around
He told them all, "I can't play ball, there's a war on now"
He marched right in with a few good men and joined the Marines at 19
He's the boy next door
He might have carried your bags at the grocery store
But he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun
In a foreign land, tryin' to hold on to his American dream
At 19, there's a sniper out there
In the dark somewhere, and a soldier's down
We need someone who could duck and run
And get him out somehow
Won't one good man raise his hand and take one for the team
How 'bout you, 19?
He's the boy next door
He might have carried your bags at the grocery store
But he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun
In a foreign land, tryin' to hold on to his American dream
19, 19
They brought him home today
With a big parade down on Main Street
He got a Purple Heart and a Silver Star
A soldier gave a speech
He could catch, he could throw, he could run
He's the one that rescued me
Could have played for Tennessee
He was 19
He was only 19
