Rotors spin as she's running for the bell
She was a fearless pilot with a heart of gold
I never really knew her all that well
She had one more flight and she was headed home
Sprinting hard cause there were lives to save
He was a young marine with an iron cross tattoo
A little cocky, righteous, strong and brave
The co-pilot of morphine one-two
My head knows but my heart can't see
It's not like it should have been me
But I wish that I had been there on that day
Even now, I'd take their place
Seven souls took off on that flight
A desert blood drop in the light of day
A few more seconds could have saved their life
But the story wasn't gonna end that way
My head knows but my heart can't see
It's not like it should have been me
But I wish that I had been there on that day
Even now, I'd take their place
Sever stars shine down on me now
Lights that burn in everything I do
Till we meet again someday, somehow
Semper fi morphine one-two
My head knows but my heart can't see
It's not like it should have been me
I still wish that I had been there on that day
Even now, I'd take their place
