Lyrics

I'm a military girl that I know Fighting for freedom, fighting for my soul Fighting these tears, fighting for some hope, hope You'll forget me at dinner, say cheers to the men Completely forget I'm a military vet I signed that contract with a trembling hand 5 more years this last name tag I'm so torn but this uniform is meant to be worn I'm in training learnin everythin bout IEDs and RPGs While Sergeant Adams keeps mocking me, mocking me She thinks it's funny I don't know Answers to things I've never seen Like KC-10, C-17, MOPP4, gas mask donning I'm a military girl that I know Fighting for freedom, fighting for my soul Fighting these tears, fighting for some hope, hope You'll forget me at dinner, say cheers to the men Completely forget I'm a military vet My best friend maxed her credit card For a plane ticket to Iraq They dropped her in Chicago With no money if things went bad I was 20 years old duffle bag on my back Travelin from one side of the world to another Without a parent or a guide or a mother I'm a military girl that I know Fighting for freedom, fighting for my soul Fighting these tears, fighting for some hope, hope You'll forget me at dinner, say cheers to the men Completely forget I'm a military vet My bosses are older than me and married Invitin me to underage parties Cuz I'm fresh meat after all I'm just above 18 My friend came back from Iraq With her memory out of whack When I stood up for myself They made my life a living hell Threatened me with losing stripes LOC's, LOR's, Article 32's, and jail cells, jail cells I'm a military girl that I know Fighting for freedom, fighting for my soul Fighting these tears, fighting for some hope, hope You'll forget me at dinner, say cheers to the men Completely forget I'm a military vet I fought freedom ten years ago The Air Force was calling me down that road Now I fight for my soul, soul Rock, rockin myself back and forth Only the sound of my own cryin To make this house a home, home I'm a military girl that I know Fighting for freedom, fighting for my soul Fighting these tears, fighting for some hope, hope You'll forget me at dinner, say cheers to the men Completely forget I'm a military vet Military girl She travels around the world Military girl I travel around the world Military girl She's a I'm a Military girl
