They Call Me Doc

They call me Doc but I ain't got no degree When the shit hits the fan, they're callin' for me From Bluegrass Kentucky with red blood on my hands Nobody calls me hero except for my friends Yeah, I woke up from dreams To find out that they were real Well, I can tell you how it went But I can't tell you how it feels 'Cause I've seen it all, helped heroes who fall Picked them up 'til they stand tall And I've been in the field and worked down to the bone To make sure all my brothers get back home I've shared the smiles, I've shed the tears Swore they'd make it out of here When they screamed, "Please make it stop" They call me Doc, they all know my name 'Cause it's stitched on my chest and it hangs on this chain You won't read it in the paper or see it on the TV But I don't need no fame, that's fine by me Yeah, when they're broke and bruised I know just what to do My job always starts When their job is through Yeah, I've seen it all, helped heroes who fall Picked them up 'til they stand tall And I've been in the field, worked down to the bone To make sure all my brothers get back home I've shared the smiles, I've shed the tears Swore they'd make it out of here When they screamed, "Please make it stop" They call me Doc They call me Doc You'll never know the heartache Of lookin' a grown man in the eye When he asked you, "Am I gonna make it?"
