Lyrics

[Verse 1: [?]] Folded flags and memories Photographs and the rosary She hangs her head as the choir sings And she cries, and she cries, and she cries, and she cries 'Cause her family was waiting at home and was praying for him to survive That folded flag that she now owns, she holds it close tonight [Chorus: [?]] Shots rang out, another angel cries Open up the gates when he arrives As he fell to the ground there was no fear in his eyes They'll bury him before they bury his pride (Yeah, yeah) [Verse 2: [?]] This is for my people that are fightin' overseas This is for my people keepin' all the kids free Another brother got shot, another RIP This is for my people that died for you and me For the red, white, and blue, the stars and the stripes The gunpowder residue on the letters you write For every picture that you send to your lonely wife I wish that we could see you just one more time Now this little old town showin' you a lot of pride Every store downtown has got a flag outside Today I bought a six pack and went for a drive I'm wishin' we could spend it like we did in '05 I remember what you told me when you signed on the line You didn't do it for the fame, didn't do it for the shine You didn't do for the money, didn't do for a dime You did it for your country and American Pride [Chorus: [?]] Shots rang out, another angel cries Open up the gates when he arrives As he fell to the ground there was no fear in his eyes They'll bury him before they bury his pride [Bridge: [?]] For the red, white and blue, the stars and the stripes Red, white and blue, the stars and the stripes For the red, white and blue, the stars and the stripes I did it for my country and American Pride [Chorus: [?]] Shots rang out, another angel cries Open up the gates when he arrives As he fell to the ground there was no fear in his eyes They'll bury him before they bury his pride Shots rang out, another angel cries Open up the gates when he arrives As he fell to the ground there was no fear in his eyes They'll bury him before they bury his pride [Outro: [?]] So the next time you see a soldier at one of our shows You buy that soldier a drink and you tell him "Thank you" And then you make a toast to freedom!
