Soldier's Son

Well he spent 22 years in the Army

We Talked Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie

What I learned from him's worth more than

Anything anyones bought me

That camo jacket with our last name

Still in my closet to this day

There ain't enough money in the world

You could give me to throw it away

Cuz I hold on to the pictures and memories

And that shadow box with everything still in it

Whenever he talked, I listened

So fly that flag in your front yard as high as you can

Except for when we lose one

Defending the land of the free

We're in the home of the brave

And pour one out for the ones

Who never made it home

Say a prayer for their momma

As if she was your own

I can't wait to tell my boys about the wars we won

Yeah, I'm proud to be a soldier's son

And those cassette tapes he mailed home

I'd rewind em' all night long

Cuz when I closed my eyes it felt like he wasn't gone

Momma did the best she could

Raising three kids while he stood

On the frontline from Dawn to dusk in a gun-smoke skyline

Fly that flag in your front yard as high as you can

Except for when we lose one

Defending the land of the free

We're in the home of the brave

Pour one out for the ones who never made it home

Say a prayer for their momma as if she was your own

I can't wait to tell my boys about the wars we won

Yeah, I'm proud to be a soldier's son

Yeah, I'm proud to be a soldier's son

So I hold on to pictures and memories

And that shadow box with everything still in it

Whenever he talked I listened

And he said

To fly that flag in your front yard as high as you can

Except for when we lose one defending the land of the free

Boy, you're in the home of the brave

So to this day

I pour one out for the ones who never made it home

Say a prayer for their momma as if she was my own

I can't wait to tell my boys about the wars we won

No, I can't wait to tell my boys about the wars we won

Yeah, I'm proud to be a soldier's son
