All along a dirt road where I learned to drive

This town aint turned out like this since we won state

Passed the diner and the barber shop

Passed the school and the church and the garage where I worked

Til I signed up

All the flags fly at half mast

A purple heart on the chest of his black leather vest

And a big salute
