[00:12.70]My grandmother owned a night club
[00:14.71]On the Arkansas-Oklahoma line
[00:20.80]Mama put me on a Greyhound
[00:23.53]And I went to stay with her in the summertime
[00:29.73]I'd box up those empty long-necks
[00:31.55]And stack 'em in the back and make a ham
[00:37.95]Then at night she'd let me sneak out
[00:40.31]Of the kitchen and let me sit in with the band
[00:44.21]
[00:46.62]Yes I have sacked some quarterbacks
[00:49.08]And broke my share of bones along the way
[00:55.24]I knew it wouldn't last forever
[00:57.07]Semi-pro always means semi-payed
[01:03.88]I started climbing drilling rigs
[01:05.55]I'm oil field trash and proud as I can be yeah
[01:12.21]Then I took my songs and guitar
[01:14.58]And sang 'em for a man from Tennessee
[01:18.58]
[01:20.67]I've played every beer joint tavern
[01:23.11]From New York City out to Pasadena
[01:29.27]Every corn dog fair and rodeo
[01:31.16]And sold out every basketball arena
[01:37.71]Like to get down with my boys
[01:39.49]In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
[01:45.82]I am a red white and blue blood

[02:03.00]A star can't burn forever
[02:05.06]And the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
[02:11.26]But the glass won't ever be
[02:13.12]Half empty in my optimistic mind
[02:20.31]I'll still have a song to sing
[02:22.39]And a band to turn it up and play it loud
[02:28.20]As long as there's a bar room
[02:30.89]With a corner stage and a honky tonk crowd
[02:35.40]
[02:37.17]I've played every beer joint tavern
[02:39.47]From New York City out to Pasadena
[02:45.11]Every corn dog fair and rodeo
[02:47.34]And sold out every basketball arena
[02:54.04]I like to get down with my boys
[02:56.00]In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
[03:10.86][03:01.68]Son I'm a red white and blue blood
