Lyrics

From a bloody battlefield in Khe Sanh
To watching the Army leave with his son
To go face the guns

He said, I'm a shot up old Marine but I got what it takes
And if you'll let me sir, I'll take his place
It's what I was meant to be
As far as I can see

Send me
I've been there before in that place
Send me
I'll go back so he won't ever change
Send me

He's still got scars upon his back from Dak To
And he's sitting on her bed as she packs to go
To go face the guns

He said, Honey, I am what is left of an Airborne man
And I can't stand the thought of you in that land
But as far as I can see
It's what I was meant to be

Send me
I've been there before in that place
Send me
I'll go back so she won't ever change
Send me

Semper Fi
This we'll defend
With our lives
Oh, 'til the end

Send me
I've been there before in that place
Send me
I'll go there so they won't ever change
Send me, send me, send me
