When I was much younger
Well I dreamed like thunder
I wore my heart like the sleeves on my shirt.
I met Mary Wesson
At a restaurant in Preston
When she waited my table, boys- i fell in love
And I was just nineteen
When I bought them wedding rings
We said our vows at her daddy's church
By day I turned hand tools,
At night I took trade school
For twenty five years I had union scale work

And I use to have faith in a Chevrolet Jesus.
That American promise as big as the sky-
I worked all those years, what I got, I got honest
I was red white and blue as the fourth of July.

And I still remember
That day in November
That new born baby was the star in my crown
And I named him Carver
After my father
I took the old man to Jenkins- he bought the whole house a round.
And I taught him to stand tall
And how to play baseball-
That third chapter lesson from the old book of John
He had a smile like his mother
Was a good man to others
I raised him up proud, my American son.

And I use to have faith in a Chevrolet Jesus.
That American promise as big as the sky-
I worked all those years, what I got, I got honest
I was red white and blue as the fourth of July.

Now I work in this diner
Since my job went to China
Lost my boy out there somewhere to a Middle East war
Well they honored him one day
Put his name on a highway
Gave a flag to his mama, that I hung by the door.
There's political big talk
And arm chair Rush Limbaughs
There's big oil, and bankers, and corporate lies
At the top of that ladder
A dead soldier don't matter
Now would you like a burger with your freedom fries?

And I use to have faith in a Chevrolet Jesus
That American promise, as big as the sky-
I worked all of those years, what I got, I got honest
I was red white and blue as the fourth of July

When I was much younger
I dreamed like thunder
I wore my heart, on the sleeves of my shirt
