prewitt
i knew when i enlisted
military life existed
for to break you down, destroy you by degrees
but then any kind of living
would be just as unforgiving
for the outside, like the inside, ain′t no breeze

and though you give up your ambition
you do so on one condition
that some other b+st+rd has to make the plan
oh, it’s the same old g.i. story
you don′t sell your soul for glory
but for freedom to leave thinking to the man

i wanted out!
from being poorer than poor
from kentucky where i knew i couldn’t win
i wanted out!
and the only out i saw
was the army and i knew i wanted in

g company
thirty+yеar+man
thirty+year+man
thirty+year+man
prewitt
we’rе told the war is coming
that the bombs will soon be humming
that this paradise will soon be up the creek
so get your sh+t together, hurry!
but i say there ain′t no worry
i got thirty years, so what′s another week?

oh, this is white trash happy waiting
we’ve no problem contemplating
different people marching to the same old drum
jews, italians, hispanics
polacks, negros no one panics
i got thirty years i′ll take ’em as they come!

one thing i want

g company
one thing that i want!

prewitt
and she′ll see me alright
there’s a shack up waiting on the edge of town

i want her now
g company
i want her now

prewitt
but i′ll settle for tonight
golden body and the softness going down

g company
thirty+year+man
thirty+year+man
thirty+year+man

prewitt
so the army’s my family
it feeds me, keeps me well
and the life outside, is sure a living h+ll

so give me my orders sargent
just don’t give me a plan
you got your volunteer
robert e. lee prewitt
i′m your man

g company
thirty+year+man
thirty+year+man
thirty+year+man
thirty+year+man
prewitt
there′s no one out there that i miss
no one cares that i exist
best thing i did was enlist
for thirty years
