Key A capo 2
[Intro]
N.C.
Drums x 2
[Verse 1]
Eighteen years old and six feet tall
In a foreign land half a world away
He dreams of life beyond the front line
Where he wishes he could be this holiday
The sergeant says it's almost time to go
He knows there'll be casualties for freedom down the road
[Chorus]
Red is in the danger in the blood of sacrifice
White is for the hope there'll be peace on earth tonight
Blue is for the soldier how he feels so far from home
This Christmas lets stand up and salute
The defenders of the red white and blue
[Verse 2]
Old Glory waves in tattered cloth
Above a lonely foxhole where he sleeps
It's Christmas night and in his mind
He dreams about his hopes in Tennessee
He can almost taste his momma's apple pie
And he knows they pray one day
He'll make it safely back alive
[Chorus]
Red is in the danger in the blood of sacrifice
White is for the hope there'll be peace on earth tonight
Blue is for the soldier how he feels so far from home
This Christmas lets stand up and salute
The defenders of the red white and blue
[Bridge]
He thinks about his sweetheart
And the night they kissed goodbye
How he told her that when he returns
He'd take her for his bride
Suddenly he understands the reason for this war
The future of America is what he's fighting for
[Chorus]
Red is in the danger in the blood of sacrifice
White is for the hope there'll be peace on earth tonight
Blue is for the soldier how he feels so far from home
This Christmas lets stand up and salute
The defenders of the red white and blue
[Outro]
The defenders of, the defenders of
N.C.
The red white and blue, drums playing fade out
