about

Written and Produced by John Custer

lyrics

If you hold down the battery
Planes diving overhead
Troops are dying in the trenches
In the eyes of a young boy
It's a war we won't win

Ears ringing from the blasting
And all my letters unreadable
Any hope unbelievable
But I'm a good soldier
I'll never complain

Oh my heart
Dreams are over long before they start
I love a stateside boy who looks like you
And I don't know what I'd do
If he didn't make it through
Red, Black and Blue

And if you click on the Superbowl
Everybody's having a grand ol' time
There's these parents on the 50-yard line
They don't look that happy to me

Looks like fire up ahead of us
Locals walking by a burned-out bus
Eyes devoid of any trust
It ain't no simple thing
To live this way

Oh my heart
Dreams are over long before they start
I love a hometown boy who looks like you
And I don't know what I'd do
If he didn't make it through
Red, Black and Blue
