Lyrics
Its been a long time
since Vietnam
and when we came home
As young soldiers
holding up the American Flag
so proud you know
STAND BEHIND AN AMERICAN
LET THEM KNOW THEIR HOME
STAND BEHIND AN AMERICAN
LET THEM KNOW, LET THEM KNOW,
LET THEM KNOW, THEIR HOME
It was hard for me
to leave my family behind
to fight and bleed
It was hard for me
to watch a soldier die
for what we believe
