Lyrics

[00:09.32] Today's the day our younger son
[00:13.26] Is going off to war
[00:17.09] Fightin' in the age old battle
[00:20.66] We've sometimes won before
[00:24.65] Flags that line old main street
[00:28.11] Are blowin' in the wind
[00:32.19] These must be the flags of freedom flyin'
[00:40.10] Church bells are ringin'
[00:43.33] As the families stand and wave
[00:47.71] Some of them are cryin'
[00:50.53] But the soldiers look so brave
[00:55.54] Lookin' straight ahead
[00:58.46] Like they know just where they're goin'
[01:02.35] Past the flags of freedom flyin'
[01:09.94] Sister has her headphones on
[01:13.57] She hears the music blasting
[01:17.31] She sees her brother marchin' by
[01:21.03] Their bond is everlasting
[01:24.97] Listening to Bob Dylan singin' in 1963
[01:32.56] Watching the flags of freedom flyin'
[01:39.92] She sees the president speakin'
[01:43.19] On a Flat-screen TV
[01:47.18] In the window of the old appliance store
[01:54.78] She turns to see her brother again
[01:58.36] But he's already walkin' past
[02:02.34] The flags of freedom flyin'
[02:09.56] Have you seen the flags of freedom?
[02:13.22] What color are they now?
[02:16.95] Do you think that you believe in yours
[02:20.64] More than they do theirs somehow?
[02:24.42] When you see the flags of freedom flyin'
[03:02.42] Today's the day our younger son
[03:06.17] Is goin' off to war
[03:10.09] Fightin' in the age old battle
[03:13.61] We've sometimes won before
[03:17.43] Flags that line old main street
[03:20.82] Are blowin' in the wind
[03:24.96] These must be the flags of freedom flyin'
