lyrics

22 years old, we were sending him off
we roasted the pig, and prayed over the feast
and danced in the sun to the cover band's rock n' roll beat.

we drank, we smoked
we raised our cups for a toast.
that said, "here's to this young man."

here's to this young man we're all gathered here for
who's leaving tomorrow to protect our country from this terrible war
we all know he's brave, we all know he's strong,
but his family and friends said, "boy, what the hell you doing this for?"

but still, we drank, we smoked
we raised our cups for a toast.
that said, "here's to this young man."

he is now back, but not how we imagined
so, we all gather here in remembrance of him.

in remembrance of our friend.

here's to this young man.
