[Verse] In my yard A torn flag Flyin' high I put it there for you To remember me by In the dirt On a flagpole In the sky [Verse 2] Over time The paint will peel The rope will rust But it's flyin' still It's the only thing We had to believe in [Chorus] You know I'm gonna be there I'm gonna fight for you But we won't know what that means until the war is through You know I hate the waitin' I know you do too But when I get home I'm gonna fight for you [Verse] I just wanna get back To the things I know Where the grass is green And the hay is mowed When we had all the time in the world [Chorus] You know I'm gonna be there I'm gonna fight for you But we won't know what that means until the war is through You know I hate the waitin' I know you do too But when I get home I'm gonna fight for you [Verse] In my yard A torn flag Flyin' high I put it there for you To remember me by In the dirt On a flagpole In the sky
