Cross the Line

I was fallin' through the Sangre de Cristo
Deep in the pinon and pine
It's fare the well, I may never see you again
I'm going across the ocean to defend a foreign land.

On to Fallusha, where a dying city lie
And the only one who's passing is a river flowing by
But I'll be true, through this war all around me
I'm going across the mountain, I'm going across the boundry.

CHORUS
And on the way, when I am gone
I'll be the one to wrap my loving arms around you
And in the dawn, baby you be strong
I have my rifle and my orders now to tend to
And if I make it through the fight
I'll be a soldier and a father and a husband
And in the dawn, I'll be strong
While I'm fighting for my country as it is falling.

(repeat 1x)
