Prisoners of War |
| That whiskey burns going down |
| Old man pour me another round |
| 'Cause it’s my last night in town |
| And I ain’t thinking of slowing down |
| No, I am fixing, I’m fixing to drown |
| Till I see the sun or I can’t see |
| 'Cause I got the blues and the blues got me |
| I’m gonna make my momma proud |
| Her boy on the front lines |
| And just like my daddy’s done |
| I ain’t afraid to die |
| I ain’t afraid to die |
| I ain’t no fortunate one |
| But I’m proud of what I’ve done |
| Hardships, I’ve seen some |
| I ain’t a coward, I don’t turn and run |
| I don’t turn and run |
| So I stumble home, pack up my old memories |
| Pictures of ma, my daddy’s flask she gave me |
| Keep it near your heart, she would always say |
| It’s all he left, and so that’s where it’ll stay |
| Her leatherbound, book of psalms and prayers |
| She would always read with patience and care |
| A short walk to the cemetery to pay respects before I leave |
| 1901 to 1943 |
| I run my fingers through her name and the effigy |
| The sun is up, it’s all I see |
| 'Cause I got the blues and they still got me |
| Yeah, they still got me |
| I’m gonna make my momma proud |
| Her hopeful new recruit |
| And just like my daddy done |
| I’m gonna bleed red, white, and blue |
| I’m gonna bleed red, white, and blue |
| I’m gonna bleed red, white, and blue |
| I’m gonna bleed red, white, and blue |
| I’m gonna bleed red, white, and blue |
