Buffalo Speedway - I'll Stand Lyrics

He sips the sweet September air
And fights the tears back
They call his Dad a hero
But that don't bring him back
He's gotta be strong for his momma
Sing Amazing Grace
And there's determination
Written on his face
'Ol' Glory 'cross the casket'
Says a thousand words
But "Stand tall Billy"
Were the only ones he heard
In the stillness of that morning
The saluting of the guns
He is proud to be called
His Father's son
And when he heard the words
"Be seated" from the preacher man
He said "If you don't mind Sir
I think I'll stand"
I'll stand for the ones who went before us
I'll stand for those who took the fall
I'll stand for the heroes who answered the call
For the brave ones who gave it their all
I'll stand
Three tours later
He knows that war is real
Takes a bullet for his country
He's got wounds that time won't heal
The doc says he'll be lucky
If he ever walks again
But there's a medal waiting for him
On the other end
Well his wife and kids
They've never known a braver man
And they know he's in that chair because
He took a stand!
So I'll stand for the ones who went before us
I'll stand for those who took the fall
I'll stand for the heroes who answered the call
For the brave ones who gave it their all
I'll stand!
For the land of the free
And the home of the brave
That I'd give my life to save!
I'll stand for the red white and blue
For my God my country and for you
Stand!
Stand for the ones who went before us
Stand for those who took the fall
Stand for the heroes who answered the call
For the brave ones who gave it their all
For the heroes who answered the call
I'll stand!
For the ones who gave it all
I'll stand!
