Setting out to save America, I put my boots straight on The earth it shakes beneath my feet, I'm as scared as I am strong I'll do what they expect of me, I'll put my life right on the line I pray my brother next to me, can protect me here from dying I'll run through the night with the stars and stripes Like a rocket through this world I feel a shiver blowing down my back, I see my wife in the burning sun Desperate eyes they crawl all over me, I rest my faith against my gun I hope to walk out of this hell, the same way that I came in Will I remember what I used to be, when I get back home again I'll run through the night with the stars and stripes Like a rocket through this world
