The Red, White And Blues Lyrics - Lost Ground - Defeater

That whiskey burns going down 

Old man pour me another round 

Cause it's my last night in town 

And I ain't thinking of slowing down. 

No, I am fixing to drown 

Till I see the sun or I can't see 

Cause I got the blues and the blues got me 

I'm gonna make my momma proud 

Her boy on the front lines 

And just like my daddy done 

I ain't afraid to die. 

I ain't afraid to die. 

I ain't no fortunate one 

But I'm proud of what I've done. 

Hardships, I've seen some 

I ain't a coward I don't turn and run 

I don't turn and run. 

So I stumble home 

Pack up my old memories 

Pictures of ma 

My daddy's flask she gave me 

Keep it near your heart 

She would always say 

It's all he left 

And that's where it'll stay. 

And her leatherbound 

Book of psalms and prayers 

She would always read 

With patience and care. 

A short walk to the cemetery 

To pay respects before I leave 

1901 to 1943 

I run my fingers through her name 

And the effigy.
