Head Count
 
Some may or may not know
 What it is I’m talking about
 Every night my friends
 No matter how many times I do it
 It seems to always come out still the same
 As hard as I may try
 It’s still missing those same names
 
 Now for those who don’t know
 Just what it is I’m talking about
 Every time we got into any firefights
 Just as soon they were all done
 We knew things were scarred
 We started tending to the wounded
 We would do what was called
 
 Head Count
 
 Just to see who we had lost
 Making sure that all was accounted for
 Knowing no one was gone
 That we needed to be looking for
 We all came in together
 We all go back together
 That was just how things were
 All heads accounted for
 Only now I do them in my nights
 Remembering their faces once more
 Yes Sir all accounted for
