Red, White and Blue - Kenneth Waters

They've been up on stage, and they've been front row They've been the life of the party, sometimes they didn't even go Them and my jeans and a cut-off shirt Spend a lot of time doin' hard work in the red dirt Yeah, I've been through it all With these scuffed-up, dark brown Broke in, worn out, made out of leather Been around forever Steel toes are all I've ever known Done a lot of right, done a little wrong But the one thing you won't see my boots do Is step on the red, white and blue Laced up in camo, overseas protectin' So I guess I'll never know why people disrespect it That flag's for the land of the free And it's more than stars and stripes to me And that's, that's why you'll never see, oh Never see me These scuffed-up, dark brown Broke in, worn out, made out of leather Been around forever Steel toes are all I've ever known Done a lot of right, done a little wrong But the one thing you won't see my boots do Is step on the red, white and blue (woo) I believe everybody needs their freedom of speech But the second I see someone steppin' on our flag That ass is gonna meet These scuffed-up, dark brown Broke in, worn out, made out of leather Been around forever Steel toes are all I've ever known Done a lot of right, done a little wrong These scuffed-up, dark brown Broke in, worn out, made out of leather Been around forever Steel toes are all I've ever known Done a lot of right, done a little wrong But the one thing you won't see my boots do I said, "The one thing you won't see my boots do Is step on the red, white and blue" You don't mess with the red, white and blue

It's the guts, and it's the glory A hundred stripes, a hundred stories It's the "Pledge of Allegiance" on the Fourth of July It's them handwritten letters from home It's them sleepless nights alone It's his new born baby he left with his wife (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Lay down his life (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes, hey From the fields of Indiana To the swamps of Louisiana To the golden coast of Californ' Uncle Sam's the only family he's got His purple heart beat won't stop And his 18th birthday was the day he was born (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Lay down his life (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Stand on the front line (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Pay the ultimate price Ohh He was the man of the house where he was born His family is proud but torn But if you knew him, you would understand He was raised on how to be brave Just to see the flag still wave And then he came home with only one hand He's Mr. Red, White, and Blue, lay down his life (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Stand on these front lines (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) He'll pay the ultimate price (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Lay down his life (Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes March in line March in line Hey Hey
