Operation X — текст песни (Dave Dudley)

(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
