	Story Behind the Song When the Gulf War started, I'd only been out of OCS a year and had a lot of friends over there. I was worried sick about them, and frustrated about not being there myself. I had mixed emotions about the war, and the lives that would be lost to save our main Oil supplier. So it was kind of born out of protest. Lyrics OLD SOLDIERS Words and music by Elliott C. Pacetti Ive never been a fighting man I volunteered and did my time Never saw the fire of battle Or the fire that burns in mens eyes I think thats something only old soldiers know The ones who were lucky and survived Its gotta be something only old soldiers know Its always the young ones that die My grandfather fought in World War II Said he saw things that could make you cry My uncle fought in Viet Nam What he saw back home made him lose his pride Dad was drafted back in fifty-one He saw his buddies pay the price Now the fight they foughts forgotten Like the headstones left behind A friend of mine was down in Panama Where men and women fought side by side Then she was sent to Arabia Said she saw hell with her own eyes Copyright 1996 A One A North Music
