Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sun crackin' asphalt, heat shimmers high
Sweat stings my eyes
Drill sergeant's voice, a thunderin' crack
Ain't no turnin' back
Sixteen weeks on Parris Island
Now I'm a man, standin' tall, understandin'
[Chorus]
Devil Dog Blues got a hold of me
Down in San Diego, by the sea
Green recruits marchin', hearts full of dread
Wish I was home in my own bed
Devil Dog Blues, a Marine's lament
Every single day, I repent
[Verse 2]
MCRD's gates, a concrete divide
Leave your past outside
Every mornin', the same damn grind
Leave your thoughts behind
Rifle in hand, I learn to kill
Against my will
[Prechorus]
Oh, Lord, I pray, get me through this day
[Chorus]
Devil Dog Blues got a hold of me
Down in San Diego, by the sea
Green recruits marchin', hearts full of dread
Wish I was home in my own bed
Devil Dog Blues, a Marine's lament
Every single day, I repent
[Bridge]
From the depot I'll never be free
This Marine Corps made me
I used to be soft
Now I'm tough
Style
country
