What We're Fighting For by Dave Dudley...Can you name a PATRIOTIC song of the day?

"My dearest Mama they just gave us time to write

I miss you and there's something on my mind tonight

At mail call I received your letter here today

But I don't understand the things you say

You tell me there are people marching in our streets

The signs they carry say that we don't fight for peace

There's not a soldier in this foreign land who likes this war

Oh Mama tell them what we're fighting for

Tell them that we're fighting for the old Red White and Blue

Did they forget Pearl Harbor and Korea too

Another flag must never fly above our nation's door

Oh Mama tell them what we're fighting for

From Maine to California there are many noble men

Who know the price of war and pray we'd never fight again

But the world must learn that we will fight we will protect our shore

Oh mama tell them what we're fighting for

Oh Mama tell them what we're fighting for oh Mama tell them what we're fighting for"

    I have so many of these type of songs that I listen to because of hubby being Army. I usually play them even more when hubby is deployed. So lets see, which one.

    This one doesn't seem to be posted much so:

    Brian McKnight with Rascal Flatts

    Red, White, and Blue

    Baby

    Tomorrow I'ma hafta fight

    Leaving at first light

    And all I can think of is you

    Baby

    I can hear you tryin not to cry

    I'm afraid and I ain't gonna lie

    I gotta do what I've been trained to do

    I'm a little tired, but I'm doin fine

    I got my brothers back and he's watching mine

    Just keep praying that we'll all make it through

    I fight for what's right

    And I fight for what is true

    Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you

    We don't see black

    We don't see white

    We just see what we hafta do

    All we see is red, white, and blue

    Fighting for our red, white, and blue

    Baby

    How's our little baby girl?

    Does she know her daddy's half way round the world?

    Tell her she is my heart

    Well...

    I've only seen her in a photograph

    Don't know whether to cry or laugh

    While I'm out here in the dark

    I get so damn tired but I'm doin fine

    Got my brothers back and he's watchin mine

    Just keep prayin that we'll all make it through

    I fight for what's right

    And I fight for what is true

    Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you

    We don't see black

    We don't see white

    We don't see what we hafta do

    All we see is red, white, and blue

    Fighting for our red, white, and blue

    I don't know the reasons why

    Sometimes at night I sit and cry

    It's hard for me to tell you what I'm goin through

    What I'm goin through...

    When all we have is this telephone

    On this telephone...

    Don't know when I'll be comin home

    I just need you to keep praying that I do

    I fight for what's right

    And I fight for what is true

    Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you

    We don't see black

    We don't see white

    We don't see what we hafta do

    All we see is red, white, and blue

    All we see is red, white, and blue

    Fighting for our red, white, and blue

    American girls and american guys

    Well always stand up and salute

    Well always recognize

    When we see old glory flying

    Theres a lot of men dead

    So we can sleep in peace at night

    When we lay down our head

    My daddy served in the army

    Where he lost his right eye

    But he flew a flag out in our yard

    Until the day that he died

    He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me

    To grow up and live happy

    In the land of the free.

    Now this nation that I love

    Has fallen under attack

    A mighty sucker punch came flyin in

    From somewhere in the back

    Soon as we could see clearly

    Through our big black eye

    Man, we lit up your world

    Like the 4th of july

    Hey uncle sam

    Put your name at the top of his list

    And the statue of liberty

    Started shakin her fist

    And the eagle will fly

    Man, its gonna be hell

    When you hear mother freedom

    Start ringin her bell

    And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you

    Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue

    Justice will be served

    And the battle will rage

    This big dog will fight

    When you rattle his cage

    And youll be sorry that you messed with

    The u.s. of a.

    cause well put a boot in your ***

    Its the american way

    Hey uncle sam

    Put your name at the top of his list

    And the statue of liberty

    Started shakin her fist

    And the eagle will fly

    Man, its gonna be hell

    When you hear mother freedom

    Start ringin her bell

    And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you

    Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue
