They call me Doc But I ain’t got no degree When it hits the fan They’re calling for me From bluegrass Kentucky With red blood on my hands Nobody calls me hero Except for my friends
I’ve woke up from dreams to find out they were real I can tell you how it went but I can’t tell you how it feels
Cuz I’ve seen it all Helped heroes who fall Picked them up till they stand tall And I’ve been in the field Worked down to the bone To make sure all my brothers get back home
I’ve shared the smiles, I’ve shared the tears Swore they’d make it out of here When they scream please make it stop
They call me Doc They all know my name Cuz it’s stiched on my chest And it hangs on this chain You won’t read it in the paper Or see it on the TV But I don’t need no fame That’s fine by me
Ya when they’re broke and bruised I know just what I do My job always starts when they’re job is through
Ya I’ve seen it all Helped heroes who fall Picked them up till they stand tall And I’ve been in the field Worked down to the bone To make sure all my brothers get back home
I’ve shared the smiles, I’ve shared the tears Swore they’d make it out of here When they scream please make it stop
They call me Doc Ya they call me Doc
You’ll never know the heartache of looking a grown man in the eye He asks am I gonna make it And you gotta lie
They call me Doc But I ain’t got no degree When it hits the fan They’re calling for me From bluegrass Kentucky With red blood on my hands Nobody calls me hero Except for my friends They call me Doc
