Paroles de Operation x

(well as long as there's a truck i won't forget korea and operation x)
I won't forget the year of '54 i drove a truck in that korean war
Haulin' gi's to the front and back in a truck they called duce and a half
The orders called it operation x we had to move in just an hour or less
First echelon and maintenance that was all and there were twenty men i had to haul
That south korean sky was smoky black i was third in convoy from the back
But twenty minutes out they hit the nail it was mortar they were sendin' in the mail
We'll scatter out and find a hole they said cause operation x is catchin' lead
I wheeled into a sideroad to the left drivin' to an almost certain death
I heard the steady creepin' of the shells the burnin' powder sent a deadly smell
And it happened as i pulled into a stop they hit us and i blacked out from the shock
Somehow i got back to the states alive and now i got another rig to drive
My bumper sign says operation x it's there cause i'm the only one that's left
Operation x it's there cause i'm the only one that's left
Yeah it's there cause i'm the only one that's left
Operation x it's there cause i'm the only one that's left
