Joe and Bong

[Verse] Joe Toney in camo, boots caked with dirt National Guard hustle, always on alert He met Bong on a drill, connection real swift Training ground romance, two hearts just clicked [Verse 2] Joe and Bong, different worlds collide Guard duty love, no place to hide From MREs to laughs under Southern skies Around campfires, no need for alibis [Chorus] Military love, down in the dust Joe and Bong found trust they can suss Through the gunfire and all the strife They got each other's back, soldier life [Verse 3] Joe wrote Bong sonnets, rough but sincere In the moonlight whispers, intentions clear They'd sketch in the dirt, plans for the days When the service ends, they'd find their way [Bridge] Can't hide that grin when Bong's around Joe and Bong, love that's country-bound No salutes needed to show they care Boot camp romance, two hearts laid bare [Verse 4] Guard life tough, but they made it through With each other, they knew what to do From training fields to late-night talks Love like a grenade, ready to walk
