Lyrics
When I was just a little boy
My father said to me
Son, you got no choice
Hat's off, it's the reason that you're free
And as we stood together with the hometown crowd
Heads bowed and singing loud
Words of freedom, never seemed so real to me
CHORUS:
Hey mister do you think you could?
And hey mister don't you think you should?
Give thanks to the one's who've died for you
Hey mister do you think you could?
And hey mister don't you think you should?
Take your hat off and say thank you
To the red, white and blue
And when the game was over
We turned to say goodbye
To the man sitting next to me
With the tearstained eyes
For he was all alone and in a solemn way
And yet he smiled and tipped his hat
As he slowly walked away
CHORUS:
And I said, hey mister do you think you could?
Hey mister don't you think you should?
Give thanks to the one's who've died for you
Mmm, hey mister do you think you could?
And hey mister don't you think you should?
Take your hat off and say thank you
To the red, white and blue
Oh, the red, white and blue
And till this day I still recall
The way he looked at me
And If I knew then what I know now
I'd hug him tenderly
Cause the knock at the door
Just the week before
When he received the dreaded call
You see his son had died on the battle field
Fighting for us all
So when the anthem's playing
And the games a'start
Place your hat against your heart
Close your eyes and remember those you've loved
It's just a simple gesture
To honor and reflect
Those who deserve respect
The men and women that now fly high above
CHORUS:
Hey mister do you think you could?
Hey mister don't you think you should?
Give thanks to the one's who've died for you
Hey mister do you think you could?
And hey mister don't you think you should?
Take your hat off and say thank you
To the red, white and blue
Oh, the red, white and blue
Oh, the red, white and blue
