War Dogs Music & Lyrics by Murray Weinstock

When I left my home in the U.S.A.
I was one of many trained a special way
There was a war going on, and I was sent to help
Never did I complain, never whine, never yelp

The training hours went long, they work you to the bone
When you're part of a team, you gotta hold your own
Sniffing out the bad guys, sniffing out the mines
Scouting up ahead, I'm the point man on the line

War dogs, never lose their way
War dogs, saving night and day
War dogs, we've been led astray
War dogs, left behind, where we'll stay

My handler was a good man, as good as man can be
Nothing I wouldn't do for him, he was top dog to me.
We'd be out in the jungle, sniffing in the air
A flash of light, ghosts in flight, silhouetted by fear

War dogs, never lose their way…

A bond is built forever, forever and a day
Built on love, built on trust, that's the canine way
Out on a mission, we pray for all our friends
That the Shepherd will lead His flock back to safety once again!

War dogs, never lose their way
War dogs, saving night and day
You're a hero forgotten, but that's the way it goes
War dogs, the soldier no one knows

My heart and will's been broken, just lying in this cage
This war has all but left me just a number on the page
Nowhere that I turn can I escape this haunting cry
I'll never understand why I've been left here…to die.
