Craig Morgan Paradise Lyrics

Paradise Lyrics

[Cadence]

I don't know what I left (I don't know what 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 feet

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
good-bye to mom and dad and hello to Uncle Sam



[Chorus]

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 pradise



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



[Chorus]

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
pradise



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

Is
paradise



It's paradise

Paradise
