Folded Flag Lyrics

by Will Hoge

[Verse 1]
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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e121881-will_hoge~folded_flag_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
'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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
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
