it don't mean nuthin'

Yep, that's what you always said
when you were scared
when you were lonely
when you were getting shot at
when you saw your buddies die
when you wanted to cry
when you wanted to come home
when your love left you
when you were tired of the jungle
when you couldn't trust anyone
when you wanted just for a shower
and a warm bed
and when you weren't welcomed home

it meant somethin'

Nope, i couldn't comfort you
i couldn't hold you in the night
i couldn't wipe away your tears
i couldn't make you laugh
and forget your fears
i couldn't welcome you home

Yet i'll tell you boy
for what you gave
for what you sacrificed
it meant somethin allright
and i'll Never Forget
