[Verse 1] Staring at the folded flag By the picture on the wall Dust on that old recliner Still hear your boots down the hall Your hands were rough on Sunday Soft when you tied my shoes I keep that worn-out collar Like a map back to you [Pre-Chorus] And every June rain Turns that ache alive I stand there frozen With your laugh in my mind [Chorus] Folded flag, folded flag You’re still here with me In the jokes you told And the man I’m trying to be Folded flag, folded flag I can’t let you go Your love keeps waving Even when the room feels cold [Verse 2] Good times in that old truck bed Catching frogs by the creek You’d hum some half-remembered song And let me steal the seat Saturday by the barbecue Grease on your faded cap I’d give a year to hear you say “Son, come on back” [Pre-Chorus] Now I talk out loud When the house gets still Like maybe you’re listening From the top of that hill [Chorus] Folded flag, folded flag You’re still here with me In the jokes you told And the man I’m trying to be Folded flag, folded flag I can’t let you go Your love keeps waving Even when the room feels cold [Bridge] If I pass your old toolbox I can almost see your smile Every scar on my hands now Looks a little like your style So I’ll carry your stories Through the red, white, and blue And every good-time memory Is a thank-you back to you [Final Chorus] Folded flag, folded flag You’re still here with me In the jokes you told And the man I’m trying to be Folded flag, folded flag I can’t let you go Your love keeps waving Even when the room feels cold
