AMERICAN SON

WRITTEN BY STEVE WILLIAMS 5/10/04


THERE GOES MR.WILLIAMS, HE JUST TURNED 84
FOUGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY, IN THE GREAT BIG WAR
18 YEARS OLD, WHEN THEY LANDED ON OMAHA BEACH
TOOK 3 BULLITS IN THE LEG,WITH BAKER COMPANY
HE SAYS DON?T CALL ME A HERO BOY. JUST CALL ME
AN AMERICAN SON

HERE COMES 911 , ENGINE COMPANY # 5
SENT 15 MEN, NONE CAME BACK ALIVE
THERE WAS CHARLIE O?MALLEY, AND YOUNG WILLIE JONES
THEY CHARGED UP THOSE STAIRS , TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN
AND THOSE MEN THEY NEVER LOOKED BACK
THEY WERE AMERICAN SONS

LAST NIGHT MY SON AND I WATCHED A RANGER GET LAID TO REST
HIS NAME WAS PAT TILLMAN , AND HE WAS AMERICA?S BEST
HE GAVE UP ALL THAT MONEY, AND THE NFL
TO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY, IN A FOREIGN HELL
WE JUST BOWED OUR HEADS AND PRAYED DEAR LORD
HE WAS AN AMERICAN SON

WELL MY FAVORITE FLAG IS, ?DON?T TREAD ON ME?
AND WE WILL DEFEND THIS, LAND OF THE FREE
WE WILL NOT FORGET WHAT, HAPPENED ON THAT DAY
MY UNCLE SAM TOLD ME, THERE?S A PRICE YOU WILL PAY
AND ONE DAY SOON YOU?RE GONNA MEET
AN AMERICAN SON
