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 drownTill 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

It'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.
