Lyrics

Didn’t Think Twice
By: Leslie Alexander, Billy O’Rourke© Paffe Music Company (BMI) and Bill Green Music (BMI)

Hit the ground running in ‘43
Drove a tank through Normandy
Fightin’ for his country no guarantee
He Didn’t think twice

Buried a friend in the cold, hard ground
The cry of death is a lonesome sound
21 guns ringing out
He didn’t think twice

Did his time for Uncle Sam
Came back a different man
Even his family didn’t understand
Why he didn’t think twice

Tears he never shed
Words left unsaid
Nightmares in his head
He didn’t think twice

Got a job in his hometown
Sun up, ‘til sun down
Fifty years then they shut him down
He Didn’t think twice

His wife died in ‘93
Some say he never grieved
Took some pills and went to sleep
He didn’t think twice

Did his time for Uncle Sam
Came back a different man
Maybe God will understand
Why he Didn’t Think Twice

Tears he never shed
Words left unsaid
Nightmares in his head
He didn’t think twice

We’ll never know what he got it for
But there’s a ghost in his dresser drawer
A Purple Heart that he never wore
He didn’t think twice

Tears he never shed
Words left unsaid
Nightmares in his head
He didn’t think twice

Tears he never shed
Words left unsaid
Nightmares in his head
He didn’t think twice

Tears he never shed
Words left unsaid
Nightmares in his head
He didn’t think twice
