Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Was the eleventh hour of November

Down in Asheville Tennessee

Free breakfast at the Waffle House

If I show 'em my ID

[Verse 2]

A parade upon the riverfront

You can hear the trumpets play

Hands on hearts, the color guard

Kicks it all off on Veteran's Day

[Verse 3]

And they thank me for my service

And waive their little flags

They genuflect on Sundays

And yes, they'd send us back

[Verse 4]

But I believe in God and country

And in the angels upon high

And in heaven shining down on us

Through bullet holes in the sky

[Verse 5]

Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 6]

Waitress asked me how I'm doing

But I don't know what to say

I was thinking 'bout the battlefield

The night I learned to pray

[Verse 7]

Marchers make their way down main street

The crowd begins to cheer

I feel my chest explode

As my eyes fill up with tears

[Verse 8]

They thank me for my service

And waive their little flags

They genuflect on Sundays

And yes, they'd send us back

[Verse 9]

But I believe in God and country

And in the angels upon high

And in heaven shining down on us

Through bullet holes in the sky

[Verse 10]

Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 11]

Oh, Jesus, said forgive them

They know not what they do

And he's here with me this morning

And his words still ring true

[Verse 12]

So I hang my head and pray for those

We lost and those who remain

As the clouds burst over Nashville

It begins to rain

[Verse 13]

And they thank me for my service

And waive their little flags

They genuflect on Sundays

And yes, they'd send us back

[Verse 14]

But I believe in God and country

And in the angels upon high

And in heaven shining down on us

Through bullet holes in the sky

And in heaven shining down on us

Through bullet holes in the sky

[Verse 15]

Oh, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
