Folded Flag

(アルバム： Modern American Protest Music - 2012)

A young girl stands in a field of stone
All the long black cars and the twenty-one guns are gone
It's been two years since they brought him home
And now no one else remembers and she cries there all alone

And all she's got is a folded flag
And the mem'ry of a man that won't be back
Won't be there to hold her when her hair turns gray
Another folded flag in the U.S.A

With a tear-stained face, she kisses that stone goodbye
Goes back home, opens the front door and starts to cry
'Cause there's a little blond-haired girl staring at her with her daddy's eyes
Holds her close and prays that she'll be all right

'Cause all she's got is a folded flag
And no mem'ries of a dad that won't be back
Won't walk her down the aisle on her wedding day
Another folded flag in the U.S.A

Fireworks split the night on the Fourth of July
Everybody gathers with their families to show off their American pride
But there's a widow and a daughter who sit alone and cry
They lost everything and it's hard not to wonder why

When all they've got is a folded flag
And a piece of both of their hearts they can't get back
Nothing you can do, nothing we can say
Another folded flag in the U.S.A
