[Verse 1] You took on a job Most folks never see Hot days, cold nights In a trench for me Eating MRE's Mud on your boots Eyes on the dark Still holding the roots You left home young With a heavy heart Not chasing glory Just doing your part [Pre-Chorus] And they say nothing When the day is done But I see you Every single one [Chorus] Thank you, soldiers Thank you, soldiers For the price you paid Thank you, soldiers Thank you, soldiers For the roads you made Our boys run in When the gunfire calls You kept us safe You stood through it all [Verse 2] It's an American dream Built on your pain Through the dust and rain Through the blood-stained grain You protect our freedoms You guard our rights You stand that line Through the longest nights Past and present I say your name You carry the weight We know who to blame [Pre-Chorus] No thank you's Could ever say enough Still I lift my voice For the ones we love [Chorus] Thank you, soldiers Thank you, soldiers For the price you paid Thank you, soldiers Thank you, soldiers For the roads you made Our boys run in When the gunfire calls You kept us safe You stood through it all [Bridge] Cold wind, hard ground A prayer in the dirt You gave your youth And wore the hurt If I had your strength I'd carry that line I'd stand right there One more time [Final Chorus] Thank you, soldiers Thank you, soldiers For the price you paid Thank you, soldiers Thank you, soldiers For the roads you made Our boys run in When the gunfire calls You kept us safe You stood through it all Thank you to all American military Past and present We won't forget you, baby
