Intro:
Verse I:
He was eight years old when his daddy took him out for the first time.
They sat beneath that big oak tree and watched the sunrise.
The deer weren t moving much this morning, but he still thought it was cool.
Decked out in brown and grey and green, from his hat down to his boots.
Chorus I:
In his camouflage feelin like a man, wantin to be just like his dad.
Ready and a waitin with a gun in his hand.
Memories they d cherish forever, the two of them spendin time together.
It s in their roots, it s what they love. That camouflage, it s in his blood
Verse II:
When he was eighteen, a recruiter came to his high school.
Said when you graduate son, what you wanna do?
He ran straight home and said dad I wanna be all that I can be.
Eight months later he said goodbye and they shipped him overseas.
Chorus II:
In his camouflage, lookin like a man. Fightin for his life and Uncle Sam
Ready and a waitin with a gun in his hand.
Seein things he ll never forget,
thinkin bout his freedom, family, and friends
It s in his roots, it s what he loves. That camouflage, it s in his blood.
Bridge:
He called his dad just yesterday, with a tear in his eye.
He said if I don t make it home, don t bury me in no suit and tie.
Chorus III:
Put me in my camouflage lookin like a man.
So everybody knows just who I am, who I was and where I ve been.
I ve seen things that I ll never forget.
I cherish my freedom, family and friends.
It s in our roots, it s what we love. This camouflage, it s in our blood.
