Preacher said he died too young Over there toting that gun For Uncle Sam and our freedom Mommy and daddy dressed in black They folded up that flag Handed it to dad and started praying Yeah he went out 21 guns blazin'
(Chorus) And that's one hell of an amen That's the only way to go Fighting the good fight Til the good Lord calls you home And so be well my friend Til I see you again This is our last goodbye It's a hell of an amen
Doctor said he ain't got long He just smiled, said bring it on If you think I'm scared you got it all wrong A little cancer can't break me My heart's right and I believe We all hit our knees and started praying No he never gave up Said the good Lord's waiting
(Chorus) And that's one hell of an amen That's the only way to go Fighting the good fight Til the good Lord calls you home And so be well my friend Til I see you again This is our last goodbye It's a hell of an amen
So be well my friend Til I see you again Yeah this is our last goodbye
