Defeater

The Red, White, And Blues
That whiskey burns going down Old man pour me another round Cause it's my last night in town And I ain't thinking of slowing down. No, I am fixing to drown Till I see the sun or I can't see Cause 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 afraid to die. I ain't no fortunate one But I'm proud of what I've done. Hardships, I've seen some I ain't a coward I don't turn and run 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 SongtexteIt'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 Cause I got the blues And they still got me. Yeah 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 I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue I'm gonna bleed red, white and blue Aus Songtexte Mania
