Lyrics
[Verse]
Too young to carry the rifle's load
Too light for the soldier's code
But war don't care how the numbers roll
It just swallows you whole
[Prechorus]
Audie lied to the papers
Signed his name
Chased the fire
Not the fame
[Chorus]
He was too small to fight
Too wild to stay
But he forged his name and made his way
Through the mud
Through the flame
Through the darkest night
Audie Murphy
Too young
Too light
[Verse 2]
Four wounds on a map of skin
Each one marked where death had been
The sniper's aim
A ghost in the trees
But he fell to his knees
[Prechorus]
Audie stood
Heart like a flame
A boy no more
Just his name
[Chorus]
He was too small to fight
Too wild to stay
But he forged his name and made his way
Through the mud
Through the flame
Through the darkest night
Audie Murphy
Too young
Too light
