They call me Doc I ain't got no degree When shit hits the fan They're calling for me
From bluegrass Kentucky Red blood on my hands Nobody calls me a hero Except for my friends
I woke up from dreams To find out they where real I could tell you how it looks But I can't tell you how it feels
I've seen it all, helped heroes who fall Picked them up until they stood tall I been in the field, worked down to the bone Made sure all my brothers get back home
I've shared the smiles, I've shed the tears, swore they'd make it out of here When they screamed please make it stop
They called me Doc They all know my name It's stitched on my chest And it hangs from this chain You won't read it in the paper Or see it on T.V. But I don't need no fame That's fine me
When they're broke and bruised I know what I do My job always starts when their job is through
I've seen it all, helped heroes who fall Picked them up until they stood tall I been in the field, worked down to the bone Made sure all my brothers get back home
I've shared the smiles, I've shed the tears, swore they'd make it out of here When they screamed please make it stop They call me Doc They call me Doc
You will never know the heartache, looking a grown man in the eye When he asked "am I going to make it" and you've got to lie
They call me Doc I ain't got no degree When shit hits the fan They're calling for me
From bluegrass Kentucky Red blood on my hands Nobody calls me hero Except for my friends
