Lyrics These Colors Won't Run - B.J. Thomas

These Colors Won't Run

As I watch Old Glory
Waving in the wind
I think of what it stands for
And everywhere it’s been
Each states shows independence
By having it’s own star
Red stands for courage
And blood shed in the war
White is for the innocence
Lost on the battlefield
Blue stands for justice
That will always prevail
These colors won’t run
They’re tried and true
The promise of freedom
Is in the red, white and blue
They stand for what is right
And if it takes a fight to get it done
These colors won’t run
When our freedom is challenged
We won’t back down
Even on foreign soil
We stand our ground
We’ll defy the largest foe
For what we believe
Defend the smallest friend
In their time of need
And time after time
We’ve answered the call
And through every battle
Our flag weathered it all
These colors won’t run
They’re tried and true
The promise of freedom
Is in the red, white and blue
They stand for what is right
And if it takes a fight to get it done
These colors won’t run
