Preacher said he died too young
Over there totin' that gun
For Uncle Sam and our freedom
Mom and Daddy dressed in black
They folded up that flag
Handed it dad, and started prayin'
Yeah, he went out twenty one guns blazin'

That's one hell of an amen
That's the only way to go
Fightin' the good fight
'Til the good Lord calls you home
So be well, my friend
'Til I see you again
Yeah, this is our last goodbye
It's a hell of an amen
Amen

Doctor said he ain't got long
He just smiled and said "Bring it on
Well, if you think I'm scared
You got me all wrong"
"No, a little cancer can't break me
My heart's right and I believe"
We all hit our knees
And started prayin'
Lord, he never gave up
Just said, "The good Lord's waitin'"

And, that's one hell of an amen
That's the only way to go
Fightin' the good fight
'Til the good Lord calls you home
So be well my friend
'Til I see you again
Yeah, this is our last goodbye
It's a hell of an amen, oh

So be well my friend
'Til I see you again
This is our last goodbye
And it's a hell of an amen
Amen
That's a hell of amen
