Memorial Day

(album: Cowboy Style - 2018)

We nicknamed him Walker
He tied knots to get a badge
He said, I'll serve my country
Just like my old man
But July 29th, came and he was gone

A shiny town car parked on that old gravel lot
Two uniforms on the front door they knocked
His Mama started crying, she said, you are lying!
Wheres my son?..

So I'll take off my hat, raise up my drink
To the ones that gave it all for the US of A
Say a prayer for the families, Lord give em strength
There's a folded flag in a frame
And I just want to say Thanks...
On Memorial day

Good men, good women gave all they had
They were brothers and sisters, mothers and dads
We will never be the same, but your sacrifice is not in vain...

So I'll take off my hat, raise up my drink
To the ones that gave it all for the US of A.
Say a prayer for the families, Lord give em strength
There's a folded flag in a frame
And I just want to say Thanks...
On Memorial day

Thank you Lord for the ones that died for me
They were soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and marines

So I'll take off my hat, raise up my drink
To the ones that gave it all for the US of A.
Say a prayer for the families, Lord give em strength
There's a folded flag in a frame
And I just want to say thanks

To the gravestones that don't have a name
On Memorial day
On Memorial day
