Fighting For America

He wakes up every mornin' Like he always does Tells his kids that he loves 'em And gives his wife a hug Tries not to think about it too much But he knows today might be his last But he just buttons up his shirt And clips on his badge He's runnin' towards the fire, lookin' down the barrel of a gun Riskin' everything he has, just so his daughters and his son Might have a chance to see a world without all this hate But another villain's born for every person that he saves Don't that sound great? Just another day Fighting for America She's up before the sun Lacin' up them boots She'd love to call back home But she moves when they say move And she sends up a prayer to God That this will be her last time But she just closes up her Bible And falls in line She's runnin' toward the fire, lookin' down the barrel of a gun Riskin' everything she has, just so her daughter and her sons Might have a chance to see a world without all this hate But another flag gets burned for every person that she saves Don't that sound great? Just another day Fighting for America He's been gone since he enlisted It's been such a long time He finally made it home And his mom and daddy cried But they don't hold him close As much as they'd like to now They just fold up his flag And lay him in the ground Yeah, he ran toward the fire, lookin' down the barrel of a gun He gave everything he had, just so your daughters and your sons Might have a chance to see a world without all this hate And he never asked for nothing, not even a little thanks Don't that sound great? Just another day Fighting for America Something's gotta change Before it's too late To fight for America
