They call me Doc
But I ain´t got no degree
When  hits the fan
They´re calling for me
From bluegrass Kentucky

With red blood on my hands
Nobody calls me hero
Except for my friends
Yeah, I´ve woke up from dreams to find out they were real
I can tell you how it went but I can´t tell you how it feels

´Cause I´ve seen it all
Helped heroes who fall
Picked them up ´til they stand tall
And I´ve been in the field
And worked down to the bone
To make sure all my brothers get back home

I´ve shared the smiles, I´ve shared the tears
Swore they´d make it out of here
When they scream, "Please, make it stop"

They call me Doc
They all know my name
´Cause it´s stitched on my chest
And it hangs on this chain
You won´t read it in the paper
Or see it on the TV
But I don´t need no fame
That´s fine by me
Yeah, when they´re broke and bruised
I know just what I do
My job always starts when their job is through

Yeah, I´ve seen it all
Helped heroes who fall
Picked them up ´til they stand tall
And I´ve been in the field
Worked down to the bone

To make sure all my brothers get back home

I´ve shared the smiles, I´ve shared the tears
Swore they´d make it out of here
When they scream, "Please, make it stop"
They call me Doc
They call me Doc

You´ll never know the heartache of looking a grown man in the eye
When he asks you, "Am I gonna make it?"
And you gotta lie

They call me Doc
But I ain´t got no degree
When  hits the fan
They´re calling for me
From bluegrass Kentucky

With red blood on my hands
Nobody calls me hero
Except my old man
Yeah, they call me Doc
