Mr Red White And Blue

(Album: Boots And Jeans - 2016)

It's the guts and it's the glory
A hundred stripes a hundred stories
It's the pledge of allegiance on the fourth of July
It's them hand written letters from home
It's the sleepless nights alone
It's his new born baby he left with his wife

Mr. Red White and Blue
Lay down his life
Mr. Red White and Blue
For these stars and stripes hey

From the fields of Indiana
To the swamps of Louisiana
To the golden coast of Californ'
Uncle Sam's the only family he's got
His purple heart beat won't stop
And his eighteenth birthday was the day he was born

Mr. Red White and Blue
Lay down his life
Mr. Red White and Blue
For these stars and stripes
Mr. Red White and Blue
Stand on the front line
Mr. Red White and Blue
Pay the ultimate price
Oh

He was the man of the house where he was born
His family is proud but torn
But if you knew him you would understand
He was raised on how to be brave
Just to see the flag still wave
And then he came home with only one hand

He's Mr. Red White and Blue
Lay down his life
Mr. Red White and Blue
For these stars and stripes
Mr. Red White and Blue
Stand on these front lines
Mr. Red White and Blue
He'll pay the ultimate price
Mr. Red White and Blue
Lay down his life
Mr. Red White and Blue
For these stars and stripes

March in line, march in line
Hey, hey
