Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Granddad’s picture
Black and white frame
Creases in his letters
All signed the same
“Tell your mama
I’ll be home soon”
He never mentioned
All that boom and gloom
[Chorus]
I’m just one more name in a line of boots
Marchin’ on down where the past salutes
Carryin’ stories stitched into this uniform
Prayers in my pocket, dog tags worn
I ain’t the first and I won’t be the last one through
I’m just keepin’ the family tradition true
[Verse 2]
Daddy came back
Sand in his bags
Folded up his nightmares
Underneath the flags
Taught me “stand up
Even when you shake”
Said, “Son, some burdens
Are worth the ache”
[Chorus]
I’m just one more name in a line of boots
Marchin’ on down where the past salutes
Carryin’ stories stitched into this uniform
Prayers in my pocket, dog tags worn
I ain’t the first and I won’t be the last one through
I’m just keepin’ the family tradition true
[Bridge]
Got my orders
Mama’s eyes shine
Proud and worried
Both at the same time
[soft drop, almost spoken]
“Call if you can, son
And don’t forget who you are”
[Chorus]
I’m just one more name in a line of boots
Marchin’ on down where the past salutes
Carryin’ stories stitched into this uniform
Prayers in my pocket, dog tags worn
I ain’t the first and I won’t be the last one through
I’m just keepin’ the family tradition true
Yeah, I’m keepin’ the family tradition
Just like they’d want me to
