[Verse 1]
Dust on the boots
Name on a stone
Flag on a front porch
You’re not alone
You signed your life
So mine could be
Wide open highways
Wild
Stubborn dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
I stand up straight
Hand to my heart
Thinking of you
Where it all starts
[Chorus]
Freedom rings red
White & blue (oh-oh)
Every shout
Every song
Every truth
From the backroads to the avenue
I’m proud to raise my voice for you
Freedom rings red
White & blue
[Verse 2]
Empty chair waiting
At the Sunday table
Gold-framed photo
On a TV cable
Stories you carried
Stamped on your tags
Wind in the stripes
Burn in the flag
[Pre-Chorus]
I stand up straight
Hand to my heart
Thinking of you
Where it all starts
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
For every fall
For every fight
For every long
And lonely night
I won’t forget
What you’ve been through
I guard this gift
By how I move
[low vocal register] By how I love
By what I do
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
