The call comes late in the night from your old Uncle Sam
Grab your gear and be ready, to do all that you can
Chaos is brewing, trouble’s here, listen and understand
People are out there hurting and need our helping hand
I turned and hung up the phone, kissed my kids and my wife
I have been called to go serve and will look to save life
You grab your bags and your boots and your wife helps you pack
I love you and the kids but don’t know when I’ll be back
Go I’ll be waiting she said as I walked out the door
I turned then and hugged her and then I kissed her once more
Leaving isn’t easy and the missions they are hard
But that is what we do we are the National Guard
