In The Shadow Of The Blade
" Riding The Eagles Back "
Written by Johnny Hubbs
2004
The Huey was called the Eagle, by our Native American friends
Riding though the thunder, in the middle of a storm
Helping guide the way to freedom, that's what we're fighting for
From the jungles to the cities, often not the distance shores
We remember all those Eagles, hovering down though the trees
To pick up all our wounded and take them, to safety
Flying into battle, riding on, on the Eagles back...
Yes we were riding, on, on the Eagles back...
Come to carry us out of here, together we'll live as one
Take us home with our brothers, headed for the distant sun
Though the clouds and the monsoon rains
The Huey was the Eagle, to our brothers and sisters too
From the home of the brave, to the land of the free
Singing songs of My Country, My Country Tis Of Thee......
Flying into battle, riding on, on the Eagles back...
Yes we were riding, on, on the Eagles back...
The Huey "Iroquois", helped save so many lives
Fighting all those battles, against the other side
Listen to all our stories, deep within our souls
We fought for our country and our brothers by our side
Fighting for your freedom and counting the days gone by
Never to forget all those, who died in Vietnam
Flying into battle, riding on, on the Eagles back...
Yes we were riding, on, on the Eagles back...
We heard the sounds above and knew they were near
From the Whop, Whop, Whop of the blades, cutting though the air
Listen to all the spirits, of these American Son's
And if you ever wondered, why we served in Vietnam
Just look at all your freedom's, then you might understand
Why we all live, "In The Shadow Of The Blade"...
Why we all live, "In The Shadow,Of The Blade"....
