I Hear the Choppers Coming

About the Song

A dramatic and intense cadence that paints a vivid picture of a battlefield scene, with helicopters arriving to evacuate the wounded and the dead.

I hear the choppers coming
They're flying overhead
They've come to get the wounded
They've come to get the dead

Oh (HEY) oh (HEY) oh oh oh oh YA!
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh YA!)
[Coy name] warrior leads the way ya

My buddy's in the foxhole,
With a bullet in his head
The medic says he's wounded,
But I know that he's dead

I went to tell my sergeant
About my buddy's head
But when I see my sergeant
My sergeant also dead
