[00:10.517]There's a memory that rings clear as a bell
[00:15.331]I was bouncing like a bull rider on his knee
[00:20.081]I sure miss those old stories that he'd tell
[00:25.259]From a hobo on a freight train
[00:27.816]To a sailor out at sea
[00:30.390]My granny says that I've got his smile
[00:35.208]He's the reason I take pride in my last name
[00:40.343]No he never made the headlines
[00:42.929]Nobody sings his song
[00:45.408]So for every unsung hero I'm singing this today
[00:51.057]So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
[00:56.238]All the fallen and the price they had to pay
[01:00.736]Hold them up high and salute all the ones that made it back
[01:06.071]And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray
[01:16.551]Grandpa could sing you every Hank Williams song
[01:21.649]But it's Amazing Grace that brought him back around
[01:26.571]He'd shed a tear talking about the day
[01:31.602]That German gunner shot his best friend down
[01:36.571]My daddy fought a war some say in vain
[01:41.713]He came home in a wheel chair, and he walks with a cane
[01:46.350]Seems like every generation has to pay the cost
[01:51.688]I think about my family
[01:54.367]And the good friends that we've lost
[01:56.171]So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
[02:01.203]All the fallen and the price they had to pay
[02:05.904]Hold them up high and salute all the ones that made it back
[02:10.697]And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray
[02:20.978]From Normandy to Korea, to Khe Sanh, Vietnam
[02:26.858]Heartaches streach from coast to coast
[02:31.170]From Bunker Hill to Fallujah, Gettysburg, to Japan
[02:36.225]Everyone who's ever served or lost someone
[02:39.774]Let's make a toast
[02:44.944]So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
[02:50.051]All the fallen and the price they had to pay
[02:54.873]Hold them up high and salute all the ones that made it back
[02:59.514]And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray
