| Folded flags and memories
|
| Photographs and the rosary
|
| She hangs her head as the choir sings
|
| And she cries, and she cries, and she cries, and she cries
|
| 'Cause her family was waiting at home and was praying for him to survive
|
| That folded flag that she now owns, she holds it close tonight
|
| Shots rang out, another angel cries
|
| Open up the gates when he arrives
|
| As he fell to the ground there was no fear in his eyes
|
| They’ll bury him before they bury his pride
|
| (Yeah, yeah)
|
| This is for my people that are fightin' overseas
|
| This is for my people keepin' all the kids free
|
| Another brother got shot, another RIP
|
| This is for my people that died for you and me
|
| For the red, white, and blue, the stars and the stripes
|
| The gunpowder residue on the letters you write
|
| For every picture that you send to your lonely wife
|
| I wish that we could see you just one more time
|
| Now this little old town showin' you a lot of pride
|
| Every store downtown has got a flag outside
|
| Today I bought a six pack and went for a drive
|
| I’m wishin' we could spend it like we did in '05
|
| I remember what you told me when you signed on the line
|
| You didn’t do it for the fame, didn’t do it for the shine
|
| You didn’t do for the money, didn’t do for a dime
|
| You did it for your country and American Pride
|
| Shots rang out, another angel cries
|
| Open up the gates when he arrives
|
| As he fell to the ground there was no fear in his eyes
|
| They’ll bury him before they bury his pride
|
| For the red, white and blue, the stars and the stripes
|
| Red, white and blue, the stars and the stripes
|
| For the red, white and blue, the stars and the stripes
|
| I did it for my country and American Pride
|
| Shots rang out, another angel cries
|
| Open up the gates when he arrives
|
| As he fell to the ground there was no fear in his eyes
|
| They’ll bury him before they bury his pride
|
| Shots rang out, another angel cries
|
| Open up the gates when he arrives
|
| As he fell to the ground there was no fear in his eyes
|
| They’ll bury him before they bury his pride
|
| So the next time you see a soldier at one of our shows
|
| You buy that soldier a drink and you tell him «Thank you»
|
| And then you make a toast to freedom! |
