Lyrics
They were high school sweethearts
In Hometown, USA
David was a football star
Becky perfect in every way
Their love endured the college years
He proposed and she said yes
They walked out of that big brick church
In a tux and wedding dress
Then the world turned a corner
On a cold September morning
You see, David was a soldier…..
Duty calls
I’m on my way
I’d stand between you and the enemy
Any day
Duty calls
I will defend
The honor of my nation, family and friends…
Duty calls
This story is unfolding
A thousand times a day
They may be different circumstances
But the bottom line remains
They’re trading all their comfort
For a bunker in the sand
Where they will risk their lives for the freedom
Of every man
Because the world turned a corner
On a cold September morning
I hear the cry of a soldier…..
Duty calls
I’m on my way
I’d stand between you and the enemy
Any day
Duty calls
I will defend
The honor of my nation, family and friends…
My boots will fill the footsteps
Of the brave who’ve gone before
Their memory will remind me
It’s a cause worth fighting for
