Folded Flag

A young girl stands in a field of stone

All the long black cars and the twenty-one guns are gone

It's been two years since they brought him home

And now no one else remembers and she cries there all alone

And all she's got is a folded flag

And the mem'ry of a man that won't be back

Won't be there to hold her when her hair turns gray

Another folded flag in the U.S.A

With a tear-stained face, she kisses that stone goodbye

Goes back home, opens the front door and starts to cry

'Cause there's a little blond-haired girl starin' at her with her daddy's eyes

Holds her close and prays that she'll be all right

'Cause all she's got is a folded flag

And no mem'ries of a dad that won't be back

Won't walk her down the aisle on her wedding day

Another folded flag in the U.S.A

Fireworks split the night on the Fourth of July

Everybody gathers with their families to show off their American pride

But there's a widow and a daughter who sit alone and cry

They lost everything and it's hard not to wonder why

When all they've got is a folded flag

And a piece of both of their hearts they can't get back

Nothin' you can do, nothin' we can say

Another folded flag in the U.S.A
