Three cheers for the red white and blue
A dozen long stem roses the white gown look good on you
You see me at your wedding I…
…was there and I was blue
Three cheers for the red white and blue
The warm red lips I used to kiss your eyes of blue I'll always miss…
The dress you wear so white and new three cheers for the red white and blue
Three cheers for the red...
I hope your world stays…
…-forsaken fools
We'll have them bleeding for you, you
For the red, white and blue
For the pride of these wounds
That we self-inflict for the red…
…bleeding for you, you
For the red, white and blue
For the pride of these wounds
That we self-inflict for the red, white and blue
For the red…
…white and blue
For the pride of these wounds
That we carry on for the red, white and blue
We'll have them bleeding…
…[Chorus: Hosier]
It's the land of the free, there's a whole lot of brave
For the red, white, and blue, America to my grave…
There's a whole lot of brave
For the red, white, and blue, America to my grave
Standin' strong for my stripes, shootin' off like…
…hog down while I'm standin' on top
And I'm screamin' out America
There's a whole lot of brave
For the red, white, and blue, America…
…to ask them to go
Without a moments hesitation
For the red white and blue
So just for one second
Put yourself in their boots
Turn your…
…and die for our freedom
No one had to ask them to go
Without a moments hesitation
For the red white and blue
Amen…
…and die for our freedom
No one had to ask them to go
Without a moments hesitation
For the red white and blue
Somebody's sister or brother
A mother daughter or
Father or son…
…ashamed
I hate to put it on him but my daddy's to blame
I'm a redneck, tried and true
And I'll forever stand up for the red, white, and blue…
…ashamed
I hate to put it on him but my daddy's to blame
I'm a redneck, tried and true
And I'll forever stand up for the red, white, and blue…
…hate to put it on him but my daddy's to blame
I'm a redneck, tried and true
And I'll forever stand up for the red, white, and blue…
…in the action of 'kill or be killed' -- 'Greater love hath no man to lay down his life for a friend'."
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red…
…white, and blue
He was 19 and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do
He was dropped in the jungle where…
…that day
[Chorus]
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the Red, White and Blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do…
…in the action of 'kill or be killed'
"Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend"}
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the Red…
…White and Blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doin' what he had to do
He…
…of November
(8th of November)
Said goodbye to his Momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the Red, White and Blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doin' what he had to do…
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red, white and blue
He was 19 and green with a new M-16
Just…
…through a clear blue sky
1965, the 8th of November
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red, white and blue…
…wants you
Come on, boys, let's hear it for the
Red, white, and blue
I'm so bored of television
TV dinner on a TV tray
Join…
…who makes the rules
And I wonder who they're making them for
All the kids salute the flag
Uncle Sam wants you
Come on, boys, let's hear it for the
Red, white, and blue…
Mr. President, when I turn 18 I know I can go to war, but that's just obscene! You want me to fight for the red, white, and blue…
…ohh (yeah!) Yeah! (yeah!). Mr. President, when I turn 18 I know I can go to war, but that's just obscene! You want me to fight for the red…
…white, and blue but I'm not gonna die for you! Bombardment of a nation that's full of foreign innocence. You made some…
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red, white and blue
He was 19 and green with a new M-16
Just…
…down and the hell all around
There were few men left standing that day
[Chorus]
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
TO fight for the red…
…white and blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do…
…in the action of 'kill or be killed' -- 'Greater love hath no man to lay down his life for a friend'."
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red…

He was 19 and green with a new M-16

Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the Red, White and Blue

Just doing what he had to do…
…ruin
It's for the red, white and blue
Time to go find a new one and split his head right in two
No one's ever indicted you
Why…
…but what the fuck am I to do?
I keep tellin' myself, keep doin' like you're doin'
No matter how many lives you ruin
It's for the red…
…white and blue
Time to go find a new one and split his head right in two
No one's ever indicted you
Why? 'Cause you're a...
White boy…
I signed up 'cause Daddy's work truck couldn't pay my way through school
Chance to be like Pa to give my all for the red, white and blue…
