They call me Doc, but I ain't got no degree
When the s*** hits the fan, they're callin' for me
From bluegrass Kentucky, with red blood on my hands
Nobody calls me hero, except for my friends
Yeah, I woke up from dreams, to find out that they were real
Well, I can tell you how it went, but I can't tell you how it feels
Cause I've seen it all, the helps heroes who fall
And picked them up till 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 had

I've shed 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 broken, bruised, I know just what to do
My job always starts, when their job is through
Yeah, I've seen it all, helped heroes who fall
Yeah, I've seen it all, helped heroes who fall

I pick them up till 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 shed the smiles, I've shed the tears
Swore they'd make it out of here
When they scream, please make it stop
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 know
You gotta know the lie
Yeah, they call me Doc
I ain't got no degree
When the * 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
