Songtext von They Were There

We were here blowin' out birthday cakes Ridin' our bikes, jumpin' in lakes Feelin' butterflies on our first dates And stealin' our old man's beer We were here back home in the home of the brave But the brave ain't home, they're an ocean away Doin' their job and keepin' us safe While we were here They were there, fightin' back on the front lines Strappin' up their boots before the sunrise Keepin' their mamas up all night in fear They were there in the name of a hometown Of a last name that was passed down Every day, every night, every moment we were here They were there They were there We were here sayin' the Pledge of Allegiance Repeatin' those words, not knowin' their meanin' Takin' for granted all our freedoms In the land of the free We were here bitchin' bout minimum wage Splittin' ourselves into red and blue states And still sat down, hot food on the plate Yeah, while we were here They were there, fightin' back on the front lines Strappin' up their boots before the sunrise Keepin' their mamas up all night in fear They were there in the name of a hometown Of a last name that was passed down Every day, every night, every moment we were here They were there They were there They were there Givin' everything they got They were there Some came home in a pinewood box With those stars and stripes on top They were there, fightin' back on the front lines Strappin' up their boots before the sunrise Keepin' their mamas up all night in fear They were there in the name of a hometown Of a last name that was passed down Every day, every night, every moment we were here They were there They were there Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
