Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The Preacher said, "He died too young
Over there, totin' that gun
For Uncle Sam and our freedom"
Mom and Dad had dressed in black
They folded up that flag
Handed it to Dad and started prayin'
[PreChorus]
Yeah, he went out, twenty-one guns blazin'
[Chorus]
That's one hell of an amen
That's the only way to go
Fightin' the good fight
Till the good Lord calls you home
So, be well, my friend
Till I see you again
Yeah, this is our last goodbye
It's a hell of an amen
Amen
[Verse 2]
Doctor said, "He ain't got long"
He just smiled and said, "Bring it on
Well, if you think I'm scared
You got me all wrong
No, a little cancer can't break me
My heart's right, and I believe"
We all hit our knees
And started prayin'
[PreChorus]
No, he never gave up
Just said, "The good Lord's waitin'"
[Chorus]
And that's one hell of an amen
That's the only way to go
Fightin' the good fight
Till the good Lord calls you home
So, be well, my friend
Till I see you again
If this is our last goodbye
It's a hell of an amen
[Outro]
So, be well, my friend
Till I see you again
If this is our last goodbye
It's a hell of an amen
Amen
That's a hell of an amen
