Call a Marine Songtext

von Toby Keith

I was sitting in a bar boozing and losing
Some jackoff walks up cruising for a bruising
Popping off and making my old re neck red.
He asked my girl if she'd like to dance
He had three buddies so i had no chance
I looked around the room for a friend
And I saw Fred
A quick evaluation of the situation
We entered into a conversation
That last the better part of the next two songs
Now I didn't say and they didn't ask but
Fred did two tours over in Iraq
And Son, it was over before it was even on.

Call a Marine instead of 911
They're built to improvise, adapt, and overcome.
When your in knee deep and your up shit's creek
You've tried everything
Tell you what you do
Call a Marine

Now my sisters husband didn't love her no more
And he runned off with a skinny little whore
And left her sitting round the house with a couple of kids.
She just lays around in that mumu gown
Old girl put on about thirty five pounds
And one day I went over to her house
And I said hey Sis if you wanna fix what troubles you
Just ease down to VFW
And you'll walk through the door and turn those boys heads
For most of those boys its been a while,
Just show a little leg and that Marlboro smile
And if that don't work out for ya girl ask for Fred

Call a Marine instead of 911
Theyre built to improvise, adapt, and overcome
When your in knee deep and your up shits creek
You've tried everything
Tell you what you do
Call a Marine

Some douchebag rises up and overthrows his government
Diplomacy aint working and ammos all been spent
The world is in a crises and the media a circus
I'll tell you what to do when it goes from bad to worse

Call a Marine instead of 911
They're built to improvise, adapt, and overcome
When your in knee deep and your up shits creek
You've tried everything
Tell you what you do
Call a Marine
Tell you what to do baby
You can call
Call a marine
Yeah yeah
