Red, White, And Blue

[Verse 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
About the worst that I could get there was the lead in my gut
But the worst that you could give me is this lead in my cup
I might be all washed up
But I'm a pretty good man
Sure, I'm hard as a nail, and I will sell you the blood on my hands

[Chorus: Terry Scott Taylor]
I'm looking at you
(Tell me what do you see)
I'm looking at you
(And I won't go away)
In the light of the star-spangled evening
In the name of the red, white, and blue

[Verse 2: Terry Scott Taylor]
My daddy said a man has got to fight to be free
Tucked his slogans into bed there with my brothers and me
He'd be prouder now
If I had never come home
I wear the shoes and the clothes and the crown of the soldier unknown

[Chorus: Terry Scott Taylor]
I'm looking at you
(Tell me what do you see)
I'm looking at you
(And I won't go away)
In the light of the star-spangled evening
In the name of the red, white, and blue

[Bridge: Gene Eugene]
You say give me a break
I say show me you're broken
My lame and legless comrades have spoken
Say jump in a lake
I say you got to be jokin'
Where I come from, the lake is smokin'

[Verse 3: Terry Scott Taylor]
I will labor for your wages, for the cash of the realm
I will tell you all my stories, you can write 'em down
But you can save your tears
For the names on the wall
I'm a living reminder that pride comes before a fall

[Chorus: Terry Scott Taylor]
I'm looking at you
(Tell me what do you see)
I'm looking at you
(And I won't go away)
In the light of the star-spangled evening
In the name of the red, white, and blue

[Chorus: Terry Scott Taylor]
I'm looking at you
(Tell me what do you see)
I'm looking at you
(And I won't go away)
In the light of the star-spangled evening
In the name of the red, white, and blue
