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   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.      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
