Blue Star

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well you have been a fighting man You've seen your share of war Living for your Uncle Sam Sam don't need you anymore [Chorus] You'll be gone, you'll be leaving You'll be back home again On Christmas or July fourth I really don't remember when And I'm glad to see you're doing well We all know just who you are Put your saber on the shelf And well take down the ole blue star [Verse 2] Well I remember when you'd send me letters And make my day when I was young Photographs with M-16s And money from Somalia [Chorus] You'll be gone, you'll be leaving You'll be back home again On Christmas or July fourth I really don't remember when And I'm glad to see you're doing well We all know just who you are Put your saber on the shelf And well take down the ole blue star [Verse 3] Your back home with your little girl Wild and pretty, blonde and blue You can't help but be their world And they can't help but look like you [Chorus] You'll be gone, you'll be leaving You'll be back home again On Christmas or July fourth I really don't remember when And I'm glad to see you're doing well We all know just who you are Put your saber on the shelf And well take down the ole blue star
