Then they closed down the factory
Wasn't there much left for me
That dirty town choked the life
Right outta me
Then I knew it was time to leave

Live with regret and it haunts me
All the time
I won't stop swingin'
'Cause I'm gonna get what's mine

I signed up for the infantry
It was my very first guarantee
A short part of my history
Gave it up for my family

Live with regret and it haunts me
All the time
I won't stop swingin'
'Cause I'm gonna get what's mine
