Lyrics
SOMETHING TO DIE FOR
By Herbert Hartley and Patricia Bishop 2009
V1
Me and my big brother after church on Sunday
Out in Granny's backyard playing Army Green Beret
Climbing in the old oak trees, smell of supper on the breeze
Music drifting through the door...man
That's something to die for
V2
Me and Jeannie Farmer, walking down to Skalseys Creek
An old dirt road to a swimming hole in the Carolina heat
Laughing in the warm night air she lets down her long brown hair
She's more than just the girl next door, I swear
That's something to die for
Chorus
Country, God and family
These things I believe
Are the things in life worth living for
Country, God and family
What it takes to keep them free
Makes everything I do worth fighting for
That's something to die for
V3
Me and my sweet Jeannie after church on Sunday
Out in Granny's backyard as our little children play
Memories made forever of one more day together
Before I leave again for war
That's something to die for
Bridge
Far away in a foreign land a blinding flash in the desert sand
My dreams are gone like fading tracks erased by the wind
Repeat Chorus
Tag
That's something to die for
That's something I died for
