I Salute You Lyrics

You put your self in harms way... they try to shoot you

Yeah, you'll get the respect you deserve, once in a blue moon

But we don't show you the respect for what your group do

You're the greatest of them all....and I salute you

They try to attack you, shame you, hate on and boo you

Because they have no idea just what the troops do

We need to realize that our veterans are crucial

You're the reason for our freedom...and for that I salute you

They gave this country everything that they had

Put their bodies in the line of fire, great blasts, some never came back

Their the ones who move forward when others stay back

They're true American heroes, oh yes, I'll say that

So many gave their limbs, their sight, their lives

They give their damn skin to keep it bright in the skies

The evil ones, they run and hide

To take over the world more than once or twice they've tried

Left their home and family to fight for the red, white, and blue

Sacrificed their peace so we could have ours too

They do it for the stripes and stars on blue

Fabric that never tares, they've got our hearts, oh yes, it's true

They try to attack you, shame you, hate on and boo you

Because they have no idea just what the troops do

We need to realize that our veterans are crucial

You're the reason for our freedom...and for that I salute you

Always serving the flag, but never for the glory

But for the land that they believe in, that's their story

One that's told far to seldom, you know it, surely

For that I wanna tell you that I'm so sorry

With honor in their hearts, they answered the call

To defend their beloved land and the flag, never fall

They moved through the swamps, and crashed through the walls

To finally end those evil bastards once and for all

A brotherhood no other can comprehend

They lay their lives down for their fellow, armed men

They learn trust and dependability, start to end

Honor pumps red white and blue blood in the hearts of men

You put your self in harms way... they try to shoot you

Yeah, you'll get the respect you deserve, once in a blue moon

But we don't show you the respect for what your group do

You're the greatest of them all....and I salute you

Yet so many of our heroes are on the streets missin

Starvin', not a penny to their name, we miss 'em

The struggle is so deep when you ill or addicted

They gave us everything and so many dismissed 'em

But the people are clear on a single issue

We want our money going to these heroic men and women

Give 'em the support and love they been missin

For the deeds they did, for the limbs and lives they've given

We Americans need to stand up to the power, cowards

That ignore our fallen injured heroes this very hour

The politicians sit up in their ivory towers

Well tell 'em how you feel this November, this is our power

They try to attack you, shame you, hate on and boo you

You're the greatest of them all....and I salute you
