paroles de chanson Girl in Camouflage - Ryan Scott Oliver feat. Jenn Colella

I was a wild one runnin' in the back streets
Not impressive, and nothin' proud
I did the minimum anyone asked of me
Often shouting, but not too loud
Just to blend in with the raging crowd, oh

I gave my number to any comer come 'round
I did the things girls shouldn't do
'Cause I was toyin' with the devil to tame me, tame me
But the devil's like "Amy, Amy" (Amy)
And all that devil did was chain me

A life in black
A life in gray
Drunk and high to keep my life at bay
'Cause in these colors in the city
It's not that hard to stay in the dark
In black and gray

And you wonder, "Is this self-sabotage?"
No, just a girl in camo
Girl in c-c-camouflage

Now I was scoopin' up tuna at the Subway
When this corporal got a number or three
Here's a woman who hits you like an alpha ray
She was all that I dreamed I'd be
And she handed this slip to me, oh

She said "How would you like to hang it high and tight
As a member of the Semper Fi?"
It wasn't long before she had me tearful, tearful
But also fearful, fearful
Still, that Marine gave me an earful

A life in tan
A life in brown
Bearin' khakis in a far off town
'Cause in these colors in the desert
And the mission you've got down
You're a star (you're a star)
In tan and brown

Life is better with your own entourage
Come be a girl in camo
Girl in c-c-camouflage
Come join the girls in camo
Girls in c-c-camouflage

She said they needed a journalist stat
Only trick was I knew dick about that
But I said, "Trust me I'll learn"
So in two weeks she'd return
And when she did, I was ready
Dumb kid with camera steady
And soon I was deployed
And by the US Marine Corps gainfully employed

A life in black
And brown and green
You're a hero by the age 19
And in these colors in the world
They treat you like a queen
God I love (oh I love)
Brown, black, and green

Oh, I had purpose
And a dream that's no mirage
The proudest girl in camo
Girl in c-c-camouflage
Here's to the girls in camo
Girls in c-c-camouflage

Because no matter what the color
In black or brown or green
The girl in camouflage
Was finally seen
