Stop When You See A Uniform

(album: Deep South - 2019)

Stop right there when you see those boots and a uniform coming your way
Get off your cellphone, and look 'em in the eye and drop that old briefcase
If you wanna see what a hero looks like this might be your chance
Before you go back home to your safe little world. Y'all don't you understand?

These are the men and women that keep us living safe inside our homes
And if you took one minute your head would be spinning to see the things that they know
So stop what you're doing, walk up to him and tell him how much it means
That every night when you drift off to sleep
They're all across the planet making sure you're free
Stop when you see a uniform

Don't you know who you just walked past with your headphones in today
You're all concerned with your own little world just outside the terminal gate
But they're coming home from a whole another world that we know nothing about
So the least we can give them's a standing ovation, it's time they hear us shout

These are the men and women that keep us living safe inside our homes
And if you took one minute your head would be spinning to see the things that they know
So stop what you're doing, walk up to him and tell him how much it means
That every night when you drift off to sleep
They're all across the planet making sure you're free
Stop when you see a uniform

These are the men and women that keep us living safe inside our homes
And if you took one minute your head would be spinning to see the things that they know
So stop what you're doing, walk up to him and tell him how much it means
That every night when you drift off to sleep
They've got it covered protecting you and me
Stop when you see a uniform

God bless the USA
