Riding With Private Malone Lyrics
Verse 1

He was a good ole boy from a good ole town
The kind that never looked for trouble, but it always found
He signed up for the army, said he was ready to go
But the last words he heard from his daddy were "son don't forget your soul"
Chorus
He said, I'm riding with Private Malone
Down a highway in the middle of nowhere
I'm riding with Private Malone
And I can't seem to find my way home
Verse 2
He left with a flag-draped casket on a cold December morn
His mama and his daddy both standing there so forlorn
His mama said, "Son, I know you're doing what's right"
His daddy just stood there, too choked up to say goodnight
Chorus
He said, I'm riding with Private Malone
Down a highway in the middle of nowhere
I'm riding with Private Malone
And I can't seem to find my way home
Verse 3
He was just nineteen years old when he died in that crash
And the only thing that they found was a bible and a photograph
And the words that were written on the back made 'em all cry
It said, "Dear Mama and Daddy, I'm coming home by and by"
Chorus
He said, I'm riding with Private Malone
Down a highway in the middle of nowhere
I'm riding with Private Malone
And I can't seem to find my way home
