Everywhere I Go | Military Cadence
(Lyrics & History)
"Everywhere I Go" is traditionally a basic-training cadence. It documents the period of time where a Soldier-to-be can't do anything without a Drill Sergeant looking over their back. The cadence is humorous, and is about the only time trainees get to talk crap back to the DS. Take a listen...
Lyrics
Everywhere I go
There’s a dang private there ( There’s a drill sergeant there)
Everywhere I go
There’s a dang private there (There’s a drill sergeant there)
​
Dang private (Drill Sergeant)
Dang Private (Drill Sergeant)
Why don’t you leave me alone?
Why don’t you take yourself home?
When I go to chow
There’s a dang private there (There’s a drill sergeant there)
When I go to chow
There’s a dang private there (There’s a drill sergeant there
