lyrics

That whiskey burns going down
Old man pour me another round
because it's my last night in town
And I ain't thinkin' of slowing down.
No, I am fixin' to drown

'til I see the sun or I can't see
because I got the blues and the blues got me
I'm gonna make my momma proud
Her boy on the front lines
And just like my daddy done
I ain't afraid to die.

I ain't no fortunate one
But I'm proud of what I've done.
and hardships, I've seen some
I ain't no coward I don't turn and run

So I stumble home
Pack up my old memories
Pictures of ma
My daddy's flask she gave me
"Keep it near your heart"
She would always say
It's all he left
And that's where it'll stay.
And her leatherbound
Book of psalms and prayers
She would always read
With patience and care.
A short walk to the cemetery
To pay respects before I leave
1901 to 1943
I run my fingers through her name
And the effigy.

The sun is up
It's all I see
I got the blues
And they still got me.
I'm gonna make my momma proud
Her hopeful new recruit
And just like my daddy done
I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue
