The Red White and Blues

[00:16.11] That whiskey burns going down
[00:20.35] Old man pour me another round
[00:24.38] Cause it's my last night in town
[00:28.60] And I ain't thinking of slowing down.
[00:31.98] No, I am fixing to drown
[00:35.78] Till I see the sun or I can't see
[00:43.65] Cause I got the blues and the blues got me
[00:52.34] I'm gonna make my momma proud
[00:56.29] Her boy on the front lines
[01:00.04] And just like my daddy done
[01:04.61] I ain't afraid to die.
[01:08.39] I ain't afraid to die.
[01:12.65] I ain't no fortunate one
[01:16.52] But I'm proud of what I've done.
[01:20.72] Hardships, I've seen some
[01:23.84] I ain't a coward I don't turn and run
[01:27.48] I don't turn and run.
[01:38.14] So I stumble home
[01:48.28] Pack up my old memories
[01:54.24] Pictures of ma
[01:56.34] My daddy's flask she gave me
[02:02.79] Keep it near your heart
[02:04.99] She would always say
[02:10.65] It's all he left
[02:13.74] And that's where it'll stay.
[02:18.81] And her leatherbound
[02:21.63] Book of psalms and prayers
[02:26.86] She would always read
[02:29.85] With patience and care.
[02:35.35] A short walk to the cemetery
[02:38.71] To pay respects before I leave
[02:42.67] 1901 to 1943
[02:46.70] I run my fingers through her name
[02:48.89] And the effigy.
[02:52.56] The sun is up
[02:53.98] It's all I see
[03:00.67] Cause I got the blues
[03:02.32] And they still got me.
[03:05.32] Yeah they still got me
[03:08.87] I'm gonna make my momma proud
[03:13.06] Her hopeful new recruit
[03:16.94] And just like my daddy done
[03:21.36] I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue
[03:26.61] I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue
[03:30.56] I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue
[03:34.48] I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue
[03:38.46] I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue
[03:43.15]
