It's the guts, and it's the glory
A hundred stripes, a hundred stories
It's the Pledge of Allegiance on the Fourth of July

It's them hand written letters from home
It's them sleepless nights alone
It's his new born baby he left with his wife
Lay down his life

(Mr. Red, White, and Blue)
For these Stars and Stripes, hey
From the fields of Indiana
To the swamps of Louisiana

To the golden coast of Californ'
Uncle Sam's the only family he's got
His purple heart beat won't stop

And his eighteenth birthday was the day he was born
Lay down his life
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Stand on the front line
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Pay the ultimate price

Oh
He was the man of the house where he was born
His family is proud but torn
But if you knew him, you would understand

He was raised on how to be brave
Just to see the flag still wave
And then he came home with only one hand
He's Mr. Red, White, and Blue, lay down his life

(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Stand on these front lines
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) He'll pay the ultimate price
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) Lay down his life
(Mr. Red, White, and Blue) For these Stars and Stripes

March in line
March in line
Hey
Hey
