Call A Marine - Toby Keith

I was sitting in a bar boozing and losing

Some jackoff walks up cruising for a bruising

popping off and making my old re neck red.

He asked my girl if she’d like to dance

he had three buddies so i had no chance

I looked around the room for a friend

and I saw Fred

A quick evaluation of the situation

we entered into a conversation

that last the better part of the next two songs

Now I didn’t say and they didn’t ask but

Fred did two tours over in Iraq

and Son, it was over before it was even on.

Call a Marine instead of 911

they’re built to improvise, adapt, and overcome.

When your in knee deep and your up shit’s creek

you’ve tried everything

Tell you what you do

Call a Marine

Now my sisters husband didn’t love her no more

and he runned off with a skinny little whore

and left her sitting round the house with a couple of kids.

She just lays around in that mumu gown

old girl put on about thirty five pounds

and one day I went over to her house

and I said hey Sis if you wanna fix what troubles you

just ease down to VFW

and you’ll walk through the door and turn those boys heads

for most of those boys its been a while,

just show a little leg and that Marlboro smile

and if that don’t work out for ya girl ask for Fred

Call a Marine instead of 911

theyre built to improvise, adapt, and overcome

when your in knee deep and your up shits creek

you’ve tried everything

tell you what you do

Call a Marine

Some douchebag rises up and overthrows his government

Diplomacy aint working and ammos all been spent

the world is in a crises and the media a circus

I’ll tell you what to do when it goes from bad to worse

Call a Marine instead of 911

they’re built to improvise, adapt, and overcome

when your in knee deep and your up shits creek

you’ve tried everything

tell you what you do

Call a Marine

Tell you what to do baby

you can call

call a marine

yeah yeah
