Big Rich 8th Of November Lyrics
8th Of November by Big & Rich
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota To fight for the red, white and blue He was 19 and 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 sergeant said...look up ahead Like a dark evil cloud, 1,200 came down on him and 29 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 Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky 1965, the 8th of November

Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky 1965... On the 8th of November the angels were crying As they carried his brother away With the fire raining down and the hell all around There were few men left standing that day
[Chorus]
