Lyrics

The Ballad of the Blade Runner.............

James was born in the Summer of 1982
He grew up tall
He grew up strong
He knew just what to do
Heart over head
What a good man has to do.......
The boy loved his mother he loved his father too
The boy loved his Country ........
........ this boy ........straight and true............

Jane was born in the fall of 1983
She grew up pretty
She grew up small
She was born to set James free
She wanted their shot at this life
Just to be James wife..........
She gave everything........a woman has to give
And she loved her Country
This girl .............straight and true.....



War on a tyrant.... a Country comes to call
Do your bit
For the cause
Hearts and bones go to war............
Protect our freedom
The job you have to do.......
To die with your brothers....that what we expect of you...
These boys loved their Country ........
........ these boys ........straight and true............



James the Blade Runner.......bullet fast and strong
Broken bones no broken hearts
Fighters all day long
You are the 300 standing strong and tall
To run with your brothers
That was your call
These boys loved their country....
These men straight and tall............
