Dirty Job

I was six years old down on the farm
When daddy took me out to the barn
Handed me a shovel and said this is yours
Now I think it's time you learned to do chores

He said it's a DIRTY JOB but someones's gotta do it
It's getting late so you'd better get to it
Put your faith in the Lord he'll help you get through it
It's a DIRTY JOB but someone's gotta do it

Twelve years later I had a gun in my hand
And a one way ticket to Vietnam
I saw friends die for the red white and blue
Came back with one leg and a new attitude

I got a silver star and a government pension
People called me names I prefer not to mention
They burned the flag and cursed my name
Daddy said son never feel ashamed

It was a DIRTY JOB but someone had to do it
Supper is on and we better get to it
Put your faith in the Lord he'll help you get through it
It was a DIRTY JOB but someone had to do it

I remember the day my son turned twenty-seven
He joined the army because of nine-eleven
Gave up a good job to fight for what's right
Watched him board that plane and fly out of my life

As they lowered my son in his resting place
Daddy gave me a shovel with tears on his face

And he said, it's a DIRTY JOB but someone has to do it
It's getting late son so we better get to it
Put your faith in the Lord he'll help you get through it
It's a DIRTY JOB but someone has to do it
Yeah it's a DIRTY JOB but someone has to do it
