Paradise Lyrics - Craig Morgan - Craig Morgan

(Craig Morgan/Harley Allen) 

Cadence: 

I don't know why I left (I don't know why I left) 

But I know it won't be long (But I know it won't be long) 

No it won't be long (No it won't be long) 

Till I get back home 

They gave me a green uniform and black boots for my feel 

Eighteen and wild as hell, I thought it would be neat 

They put me on a plane to some strange and foreign land 

I said my good-bye to mom and dad and hello to Uncle Sam

Once I was a soldier and not afraid to die 

Now I'm a little older and not afraid to cry 

Everyday I'm thankful just to be alive 

When you've been where I've been any kind of life 

Is paradise 

Christmas of eighty-nine was a lonely time for me 

Panama was probably fine but it was nothing like Tennessee 

I never thought the day would come when I might have to kill a man 

I did not sleep a wink that night but we won for Uncle Sam 

Once I was a soldier and not afraid to die 

Now I'm a little older and not afraid to cry 

Everyday I'm thankful just to be alive 

When you've been where I've been any kind of life 

Is paradise 

If you've been where I've been any kind of life 

Is paradise 

It's paradise 

Paradise
