Defeater
The Red White and Blues
That whiskey burns going downOld man pour me another roundCause it's my last night in townAnd I ain't thinking of slowing down.No, I am fixing to drownTill I see the sun or I can't seeCause I got the blues and the blues got meI'm gonna make my momma proudHer boy on the front linesAnd just like my daddy doneI ain't afraid to die.I ain't afraid to die.I ain't no fortunate oneBut I'm proud of what I've done.Hardships, I've seen someI ain't a coward I don't turn and runI don't turn and run.So I stumble homePack up my old memoriesPictures of maMy daddy's flask she gave meKeep it near your heartShe would always saySongtexteIt's all he leftAnd that's where it'll stay.And her leatherboundBook of psalms and prayersShe would always readWith patience and care.A short walk to the cemeteryTo pay respects before I leave1901 to 1943I run my fingers through her nameAnd the effigy.The sun is upIt's all I seeCause I got the bluesAnd they still got me.Yeah they still got meI'm gonna make my momma proudHer hopeful new recruitAnd just like my daddy doneI'm gonna bleed red, white and blueI'm gonna bleed red, white and blueI'm gonna bleed red, white and blueI'm gonna bleed red, white and blueI'm gonna bleed red, white and blue
