Generate meaning
1
I jumped straight at it when I had the chance
2
I joined the army and I went to France
3
At Roosevelt's request
4
Two weeks of sitting in the mud
5
Made me lie to the man that I could drive a truck
6
For the Red Ball Express
7
[Chorus:]
8
All we do is keep it rolling on
9
Trading bodies for petroleum
10
Heating rations on the manifold
11
And never sleep enough to dream about home
12
Benzedrined and looking through cat eyes
13
Of a deuce and-a-half and a day's supply
14
Of jerry cans in back
15
Ain't no secret how the generals felt
16
"Fuck the men, they can eat their belts
17
But the tanks - they must have gas."
18
[Chorus]
19
The gears are sticking, and the pressure's low
20
I felt the bump that means it's time to go
21
Another twenty miles
22
Thirty-six hours and I still ain't slept
23
I'm hearing voices talk inside my head
24
In Burma Shaving rhyme
25
All we do is keep it rolling on
26
Trading bodies for petroleum
27
Heating rations on the manifold
28
Even now I've never felt that old
29
Because fifty years later and you don't forget
30
Being eighteen and scared to death
31
In a world that's changing fast
32
Now my own son sends his own son off
33
To fight the next fight to be fought
34
And the Red Ball brings me back
