Juice Newton KEEPERS OF THE PEACE song lyrics

When I was nineteen, I put on Army green;

I told my mama not to cry, kissed my best girlfriend goodbye;

I left behind all the things I loved, proud to go and shed my blood;

In a foriegn land called Vietnam, trying to help my fellow man;

We are the keepers of the peace.

And when I left Nam, they sent me back home;

But it wasn't long, before I heard the call;

Of the Cold War echo from the Wall;

So I volunteered for overseas, and packed my bags for Germany;

Where we put an end to the tyranny, and carved a brand new destiny;

We are the keepers of the peace.

We are the Keepers of the Peace; The brave men and women,

who fight to keep us free; Serviens of liberty,

We are the keepers of the peace. We are the keepers of the peace;

Standing side by side, our strength in unity;

Helping hands for democracy; We are the keepers of the peace.

After the fall, of the Berlin Wall; My celebration, didn't last too long;

"Fore the War on Terrorism came along; Now it's up to you, it's up to me;

To carry the fight for liberty; From the desert sands, of the Holy Lands; To the hallowed shores, of our homeland; We are the keepers of the peace.

From the Central Highlands of Vietnam, To the Aral Mountains of Afghanistan; From Panama to Somalia, South Korea to Bosnia;

From Ho Chi Minh City, To Kuwait City; We are the keepers of the peace.

We are the Keepers of the Peace; The brave men and women,

who fight to keep us free; Serviens of liberty, We are the keepers of the peace.

We are the keepers of the peace; Standing side by side, our strength in unity;

Helping hands for democracy; We are the keepers of the peace.
