Intro
Verse 2
Are You The Next Country Singer
Cashing In Red, White, And Blues
Singing About Freedom And Sacrifice
Like It All Belonged To You?
Would You Stand Where I Stood
When The Orders Finally Came
Would You Still Love Her The Same?
Verse 2
Me And My Brothers And Sisters
Signed A Blank Check, No Regrets
They All Pull Up To Our Lives
That You Get You Don't Forget
We Didn't Sit Safe In The Quiet
Under Skies We Didn't Earn
Some Of Us Didn't Return
Pre-Chorus
You Can Wear A Flag On A Stage
It Don't Mean You Paid The Price
Chorus
I'm Tired Of Hearing Songs About Pain
They Ain't Never Felt
I'm Tired Of Watching Heroes
Turn Into Somebody Else's Wealth
While Crosses Bind The Memories
And Names Fade On The Wall
Don't Sing My War Like It's Yours
If You Never Heard The Call
Verse 3
I've Given Too Many Flags To Families
Phones Ring With No Answer
Watch Mothers Learn Forever
What Goodbye Really Means
This Ain't A Costume Or A Chord
You Throw On When It Sells
This Is Something We Relive Again And Again
Pre-Chorus
I Don't Need A Medal
Or Praise Or A Song Saying Thanks For My Time
Don't Sell My Scars For A Hook
Or My Dead Friends For A Rhyme
Chorus
I'm Tired Of Hearing Songs
About Battles They Never Knew
I Carried Brothers Through The Dark
While You Chased Number One And Two
If You're Going To Sing About Freedom
At Least Tell The Truth
Some Of Us Gave Up Ourselves
So You Could Chase The Spotlight's Flame
While You Wave That Flag At Night
And Take Your Curtain Call
Remember Some Of Us Gave It All
So You Can Stand There Singing To A Song
