Oh, oh, oh, wooh, wooh Just a freckle faced solider. Just eighteen older. So young, yes, so young boy leaving home to fight a war.
I'll never forget that night My baby left on a midnight flight .
No longer just teenage guy. Which soldier telling sweetheart, "Goodbye" He said,"Don't cry, for I come back .
We'll have time to do what we want to do. All fight only known then but that so few.
Just a freckle faced soldier. oh, oh, oh, wooh, wooh
Today his first letter from Vietnam came. It looked like a teardrop hes photo beside my name
He said "Honey, I am proud of wearing this army coat even if I am not quit old enough to vote.
Sake home mama where she still awaits Tell, "I can almost smell the bread cheese to bake" What soldier said all right tomorrow too . And till then I love you..."
Just a freckle faced soldier. Just eighteen older. So young, yes, so young boy leaving home to fight a war.
Well, tomorrow past to days and days into weeks on end. And you know that boy... Well he never wrote again...
They sent a medal of honor to his mam, For all his bravery
I know she wanted to keep it. But you know, she gave that medal to me
I wear it on my heart now cause it is the closest place to heaven and that's where he lives now.
Yes they called him a man,a very brave man. But he was really just a boy. Just a freckle faced soldier
