Lyrics:
Well he spent 22 years in the Army.
We Talked Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie.
What I learned from him's worth more
than anything anyones bought me.
That camo jacket with our last name,
Still in my closet to this day.
There ain't enough money in the world you could give me to throw it away.
Cuz I hold on to the pictures and memories
And that shadow box with everything still in it.
Whenever he talked, I listened.

So fly that flag in your front yard as high as you can
Except for when we lose one defending the land of the free
We're in the home of the brave.
And pour one out for the ones who never made it home.
Say a prayer for their momma as if she was your own.
I can't wait to tell my boys about the wars we won.
Yeah, I'm proud to be a soldier's son.

And those cassette tapes he mailed home
I'd rewind em' all night long
Cuz when I closed my eyes it felt like he wasn't gone.
Momma did the best she could.
Raising three kids while he stood,
On the frontline from Dawn to dusk in a gun-smoke skyline

Fly that flag in your front yard as high as you can
Except for when we lose one defending the land of the free
We're in the home of the brave.
Pour one out for the ones who never made it home.
Say a prayer for their momma as if she was your own.
I can't wait to tell my boys about the wars we won.
Yeah, I'm proud to be a soldier's son.

Yeah, I'm proud to be a soldier's son.

So I hold on to pictures and memories
and that shadow box with everything still in it
Whenever he talked I listened.

And he said,
To fly that flag in your front yard as high as you can
Except for when we lose one defending the land of the free.
Boy, you're in the home of the brave.
So to this day,
I pour one out for the ones who never made it home.
Say a prayer for their momma as if she was my own.
I can't wait to tell my boys about the wars we won.

No, I can't wait to tell my boys about the wars we won.

Yeah, I'm proud to be a soldier's son.
