"Red, White & Blue" lyrics

My grandmama worked on a factory floor
Sewing leather for minimum wage
While my granddaddy worked all the beer joints in town
Tryin' to forget the memories he made

Because when daddy was born in 1945
We'd been fightin' for what we believed
Along with five other brothers, who stood by his side
They were ready, they willing to bleed

Red, white and blue

Those colors mean something, those colors stay true
Like my family before me, I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue

My daddy grew up, on the wrong side of poor
Rubbin' nickels together for heat
Well, he and his sister had barely got by
With the clothes and the shoes on their feet

So he joined the service, when he was eighteen
Like his daddy and his uncles before
He was ready to die, for what he believed
To fight for, what's worth fightin' for

Red, white and blue

Those colors mean something, those colors stay true
Like my family before me, I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue

Well me and my sisters, got kids of our own
And my brother's coming up on sixteen
And my daddy taught us all, how to live off the land
And how to stand up for what we believe

Red, white and blue

Those colors mean something, those colors stay true
Like my family before me, I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue

Like my family before me, I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue
