I met my enemy today Baby sends the little one out to play Enemy shot two of my buddies down Baby rides the little one on the Merry-go-round By my post, I'm standing guard Baby hopes for roses in the front yard I don't know my enemy's name Baby takes the little one to a Baseball game Why am I in this God forsaken place? Baby washes the dirt off The little one's face Ten year old's in the killing fields Baby's planning the weekly meals Bodies in a muddy ditch Baby's got supper to fix My buddy's got a hole in his head Baby's getting the little one ready for bed Today I shot my enemy Baby gives the little one a hug for me Both my buddy's legs got blown off Baby tends to the little one's cough I stare down the barrel of a gun Baby's goin' out to have some fun I hear ringing in my ears Baby's face is all wet with tears I hear echoes of shots Baby's only thinkin' sweet thoughts Why the hell did they send me Here to fight? Baby kisses my picture and turns Off the light I can't look my enemy in the eye Baby tells the little one, Daddy's gone bye-bye Today I took a bullet through the heart Baby's gonna have to make A brand new start I met my enemy today Baby sends the little one out to play Enemy shot two of my buddies down Baby rides the little one On the merry-go-round
