David Ball-Ridding with Private Malone lyrics

[@billhuber2964]

This song brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it. Im a 'nam era vet ( navy ) and damn proud of it !!! 🇺🇸

[@bluejeansandteacups7801]

😢 same. My Daddy was too ⚓. He passed in 2020 & I miss him every day. Thank you for your service Bill.

[@grumpymosteller5286]

I was born in 70, and I lost my dad the same year he was killed in Vietnam. To this day I still say "thank you for your bravery and courage, and for making it home. " to every vet I see.

[@Helismoke]

I went to Viet Nam in '70 and like most young men left my car, a '68 Mustang, with my brothers to take care of in case I didn't make it back. This song brings tears to my eyes when I think of my friends and the cars they left behind. I hope someone still keeps them cherry looking so they never forget.Great video.

[@alonsoromero7283]

I appreciate you for your sacrifices, also in keeping us free, and the oppressed free, making the world safer and free-er 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸proud to call you one of my heroes❤️

Well... if Private Malone was a real guy, from the year of the car, I'd say he died in Vietnam. Thus... he didn't just fight for the US but also for South Vietnam and as a son and grandson of South Vietnamese soldiers: I thank you for fighting for my country as well as the US.

[@ianbusche1471]

Yep, he was a Vietnam vet

That was a good reason and I like this song so no haters are doing nothing but the best thing is to just leave people alone because they work very hard on every thing so just be nice so leave people the f*** alone they try so hard and you don’t on nothing

My dad used to sing this to my brother and I. We haven't heard from or seen him in over 8 years, he's worthless, but this song reminds me of when he at least tried to be a dad.

[@Parkere409]

What happened.

[@Parkere409]

He just didn't wanna be a dad to us. Last i heard he got remarried and had two kids with her.

@@JackMasterOfNone9200 Do you hate America, or just the government?

[@JackMasterOfNone9200]

@@noneyours I hate the place America has become because of our government. I am unfortunatly not able to be proud of calling myself an American due to a myriad of things. One of the biggest being the government and some of the smaller being that I have watched as other governments and countries across the world have moved forward with alot.of common sense laws and stuff that we seem to just ignore. Our government is just so broken. Nothing gets done in a timely manner. And theres rarely room for human judgement.

[@doggoboiz7371]

This song is based on TRUE stories. When I first heard this song with my dad it literally made me cry. R.I.P Private Andrew Malone

[@tinawhite5310]

RIP to private Andrew Malone and all the other soldiers who never made it home and thank you for your service and sacerfice to this amazing country you are never forgotten

[@Solidninja100]

My mom and me were driving around, and she put in a CD with this song on it, I instantly fell in love with it. For some reason it seems like a sad song to me, might be where most of my family that had joined any part of the Military "didn't make it home."

[@RobbieRR]

I know that feeling, I've had alot of military family, and some never came home. I think of this song as a happily sad song. It tells us that, even though they passed, they're never truly gone, and they'll always be there for us.

[@jd4harley]

It don’t matter I could hear this song three times in a row. Wait a week and listen to it again, and I will break down in tears every single time.😢❤

[@christinacMYODB2024]

I remember listing to this song on Attack when I was a little girl . Love this song. Stay bless everyone.

[@gabrielasalmeron264]

This song always gets to me. I know alot of young men & women straight out of high school enlist & fight for our country so we can continue to be free. And I know if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be here today. May God bless them & their families! May He watch over them, & keep them safe & give solace & peace to the families that have lost someone & know they died heroes.

[@KGMH77]

This brings pride to a lot veterans and they deserve it

[@penelopebennett1960]

The first time I heard this song was a couple years ago.... and I've fallen in love with it ever since.

[@fenriswolfo]

When I get my first car, I'm gonna name it Malone.

[@oldgrumpym37]

Sometimes, if you are very lucky, you get to ride Private Malone's FIRST rig... A 1953 Dodge M37 "Old Grumpy", driven by an old Veteran Marine. Semper Fi... We remember.

[@waveman99]

My name is actually Dave Ball too, but somehow I've never listened to any of his stuff until today. I'm impressed. He definitely earns the name. : )

[@waywardfaunus4738]

I think it's about Soldiers continue fighting after death. Even after he died in service he still saved his life after death, but that he was happy that someone remembered his wish

I've heard a lot of songs about the military , and with both parents being in the service, I'm tought to be tough so most of these songs don't affect me . . . most. This song was the only one that ever had me on the verge of tears. I love you Mom & Dad, I'm so proud of you both.

until people like Clinton and refugees insist on destroying our country and the ideals we live by and sensely waste our soldiers lives.

[@lillijarrett2937]

was just out of the service thumbing through the classifieds When an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran But I had that thousand dollars in my hand It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn With 30 years of dust and dirt on that green Army tarp And when I pulled the cover off, it took away my breath What she called a Chevy was a 66 Corvette I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills What a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note The date was 1966 and this is what he wrote He said, my name is Private Andrew Malone And if you're reading this, then I didn't make it home But for every dream that's shattered, another one comes true This car was once a dream of mine, now it belongs to you And though you may take her and make her your own You'll always be riding with Private Malone Well, it didn't take me long at all, I had her running good I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood I had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the ragtop down All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right But it picked up that oldie show, especially late at night I'd get the feeling sometimes, if I turned real quick I'd see A soldier ridin' shotgun in the seat right next to me It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone Who fought for his country and never made it home But for every dream that's shattered, another one comes true This car was once a dream of his, back when it was new And he told me to take her and make her my own And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone Well, one night it was raining hard, I took the curve too fast And I still don't remember much about that fiery crash Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out They didn't get his name, but I know without a doubt It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone Who fought for his country and never made it home But for every dream that's shattered, another one comes true This car was once a dream of his, back when it was new And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along Yeah, that night, I was riding with Private Malone Oh, thank God, I was riding with Private Malone Private Malone
