Turnpike Troubadours - Blue Star lyrics
[Turnpike Troubadours - Blue Star lyrics]
You've seen your share of war
Living for your Uncle Sam
Sam don't need you anymore
You'll be gone, you'll be leaving
You'll be back home again
On Christmas or July fourth
I really don't remember when
And I'm glad to see you're doing well
We all know just who you are
Put your saber on the shelf
And well take down the ole blue star
Well I remember when you'd send me letters
And make my day when I was young
Photographs with M-16s
And money from Somalia
You'll be gone, you'll be leaving
You'll be back home again
On Christmas or July fourth
I really don't remember when
And I'm glad to see you're doing well
We all know just who you are
Put your saber on the shelf
And well take down the ole blue star
Your back home with your little girl
Wild and pretty, blonde and blue
You can't help but be their world
And they can't help but look like you
You'll be gone, you'll be leaving
You'll be back home again
On Christmas or July fourth
I really don't remember when
And I'm glad to see you're doing well
We all know just who you are
Put your saber on the shelf
And well take down the ole blue star
